It is unclear whether his character is a surgical intern or resident, but he’s a smug yet intelligent man in his 20s who just moved to Seattle. His casting comes after Midori Francis (Mira) and Jake Borelli (Levi) departed the series earlier in the season. Jason Winston George’s character, Ben, returned to the series at the start of the season after ABC’s Station 19 ended.
Jackson got his start as a child actor on Broadway, starring as Young Simba in The Lion King. He also featured in the popular musical The Tap Dance Kid.
