Jackson's additional television credits include starring on Showtime's "The Affair," "Years of Living Dangerously," J.J. Abrams' "Fringe," "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" and his breakout role in "Dawson's Creek." Jackson's many films include Rose Troche's acclaimed drama "The Safety of Objects," the HBO Films version of Moises Kaufman's groundbreaking play "The Laramie Project," "Aurora Borealis," "Sky," "Cursed," "Gossip," "Apt Pupil," "Cruel Intentions," "Lay the Favorite," "Inescapable" and "Bobby." Jackson starred in the critically acclaimed Broadway production of "Children of a Lesser God," opposite Lauren Ridloff; in the off-Broadway production of "Smart People," opposite Mahershala Ali and Tessa Thompson; and in London's West End production of "A Life in the Theatre," opposite Patrick Stewart. Jackson is represented by CAA, Anonymous Content and Hansen, Jacobson, Teller, Hoberman, Newman, Warren, Richman, Rush, Kaller & Gellman.
