Jackson (character)

Jackson is one of two protagonists in Those Two Idiots. He is played by Jackson Miller (whom he also shares his name with), and first appeared in the unreleased Stupid Spiez.

Role in Those Two Idiots
Jackson is depicted as being more responsible and intelligent than his roomate, Jake, but he has also fallen for tricks and done many idiotic things. For example, he thinks that the mysterious call from Jáckson Rodriguez is "legit" and that Blake's death was "awesome". He seems to almost act like a parent to Jake, (For example, in The Pilot, Jackson tells Jake to clean the bathroom) and is a leader of sorts. He apparently carries a knife in his tie, as seen in The Kidnapping.

Creation and Appearances
Jackson first appeared as a secret agent in a 2011 short film titled Stupid Spiez, along with Jake. The characters are very much the same, except that they are spies, not roomates. Jackson's costume consists of a black shirt, black pants, and sunglasses.



Jackson's first appearance in Those Two Idiots was also in 2011. His character was drastically different than the current one, and he wore normal clothes, not a costume. This version of Jackson was overly energertic, and blurted out random words in the middle of his sentences.

Jackson appeared again in the first episode of the 2012-13 series, The Artist. His look was similar to his appearance in Stupid Spiez, but with a tie added. He has poofy long hair, wears his real glasses, and does not wear a polo. He instead wears a black t-shirt (with the same tie used in the YouTube series), jeans, and a pair of underwear over the jeans. Later in series, he reverts to his modern costume, the polo shirt and purple pants (The Pilot version).

He appears once again in the rebooted version of the series that is posted on ObsonFilms. He used his costume from the old series in The Pilot, but in The Kidnapping he gets a new design. This costume depicts Jackson with short, combed hair, thick glasses, dark blue long socks, and a black coat.

Trivia

 * Jackson does not have a last name, nor does Jake. Oddly, every other character has a last name.
 * In an unreleased episode from the 2012-13 series called The Haunting, Jackson wears Bill Sterd's costume. The reason for this was because it was filmed before Bill Sterd was created, so it wasn't Bill's costume yet.
 * Incidentally, Jackson does not wear Bill Sterd's shirt in the YouTube series to avoid misconception between the two characters.
