Raised primarily both his mother, who was a factory worker, and his grandparents, Jackson only met his father twice before his death from alcoholism. He grew up in Chattanooga, Tennessee and graduated from Riverside High School before attending Morehouse College in Atlanta.

After working in theater for a number of years and landing a spattering of small roles, as well as working as a stand-in for Bill Cosby during rehearsals of The Cosby Show, his friendship with Spike Lee would lead to his big break in movies like School Daze, Do The Right Thing and Mo’ Better Blues. It was his turn in Jungle Fever in 1991 that would truly bring him to the attention of critics and soon after he would be a highly sought after character actor in movies like Patriot Games (1992) and Jurassic Park (1993). Although he was now an established and revered actor, his role in Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction in 1994 that would establish him as an on-screen legend.
