Career

[edit]

Although Jackson's early screen work has been stated to have included a role in That Peter Kay Thing, he has clarified in interviews that this is an error on IMDB, and that he has no knowledge of how it came to be credited to him, and further that he has so far been unable to remove the error from his profile.

Beyond this, Jackson has worked in the theatre, starring in the Royal National Theatre's productions of War Horse and One Man, Two Guvnors, the latter of which he followed on their international tour.[2]
