Jackson Wright is a young actor and singer whose performances in Southern California have earned him growing notice and acclaim. Recognized at the 2025 Jerry Herman Awards as Best Male Actor in Los Angeles, he went on to represent the region as a Jimmy Awards nominee, training at Juilliard and performing at Broadway’s Minskoff Theatre as part of the National High School Musical Theatre Awards.

Following the Jimmys, Jackson starred as Black Stache in Peter and the Starcatcher at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and soon after made his television debut as Ryan, in a recurring role as a teenage Irish-American gangster, on the new Amazon / MGM+ series The Westies (starring J.K. Simmons and Titus Welliver), premiering Summer 2026.

Notable stage credits include Valjean in Les Misérables, Pippin in Pippin, Jack Kelly in Newsies, and Emmett in Legally Blonde. He studies vocal technique with Scott Harlan and dance with choreographer Mimi Rosales, and this fall he will appear as Mr. Keating in the first U.S. high school production of Dead Poets Society.

A senior at St. Francis High School, Jackson will graduate in Spring 2026 and continue his training in a BFA Musical Theatre program beginning that fall.
