Jackson Wright is a rising actor and singer who has quickly established himself as a standout talent in Southern California. A two-time Jerry Herman Award winner, Jackson most recently took home the honor for his performance as Tony in West Side Story. Following this win, he returned to New York to compete as a 2026 Jimmy Awards Finalist, marking his second consecutive year representing the Los Angeles region on the national stage at Broadway’s Minskoff Theatre.

Last summer, Jackson starred as Black Stache in Peter and the Starcatcher at the 2025 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, and soon after made his television debut as Ryan, a teenage Irish-American gangster in a recurring role on the Amazon / MGM+ series The Westies(starring J.K. Simmons and Titus Welliver), premiering this summer.

Back on stage last fall, he played John Keating in the West Coast premiere of Dead Poets Society at St. Francis High School, and then did West Side Story in the spring — winning his second consecutive Best Actor award at the Jerry Herman Awards for his performance as Tony, and earning his second trip to the Jimmy Awards, earning a spot in the final 8. He studies vocal technique with Scott Harlan and dance with Julie Schmid at Revolution Dance. This fall, Jackson will begin his BFA in Musical Theatre at Ithaca College.
