Jackson Kelly: Rising Star

Written By

Jackson Kelly has been rising fast in the acting world starring in Lucky Hank, My Year of Dicks, and Witch Mountain.

He joins us to talk about what it’s like working with Bob Odenkirk, how he prepares for new roles, and the difficulties of knowing how you’ve performed in an audition.

We also discuss the shows he’s recently starred in, what it’s like on set, and how he got each of his new roles.

“I’m learning my place in the scheme of things, I’m learning that it’s a puzzle and everyone’s a part of it and I’m one little piece as Barto and that’s all I can control is what happens between action and cut.” - Jackson Reid Kelly
