Jackson Tessmer: From Hebrew School to toga parties, with angst tv, Christian drama, Asa Butterfield, and n*de selfies

 

 Jackson Tessmer was born in Hermosa Beach, California, about 20 miles south of West Hollywood.  When he was a teenager, he moved to Inverness, Florida, where he graduated from  Citrus High School in 2022.

He was a swimmer and powerlifter, winning first place in the Orlando Open Championships in 2022 with a bench of 170 and a deadlift of 211.  Sorry, I couldn't find any powerlifting photos.

He was also very busy with Hebrew School and  temple activities.  It's a wonder that he had time to go on auditions.

Jackson's on-screen acting credits begin with a series of shorts: Show and Tell (2013), Birthday Boy (2014),  Table Manners (2015).  He starred with Michael Berthold, Stacy on The Righteous Gemstones,  in Dear Ones (2014), On Your Street (2016), and Ranger Things (2017).

  

Plus walk-ons in Tomorrowland (2015) with George Clooney, Modern Family (2016) with Mitch dressed as Little Orphan Annie, and Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (2016), with Asa Butterfield 

Jackson's first starring role came in Schoolbus Diaries (2016-17), with "the everyday lives of children and teenagers" mediated by their surprisingly wise bus driver. 

No Place in the World (2017) is a Christian movie featuring two sisters with problems at home and school, "trying to survive in a disconnected, self-centered world."  I'll bet they find God.  Jackson seems to play a school shooter.

I can't find the tv series Mohawk (2018) streaming anywhere, but Jackson's demo reel shows his father, who has just crucified someone, punching and strangling him.  He's saved by the spirit of a Native American woman.

Paradise Lost (2018) is another show that is impossible to find on streaming services. All I can figure out is a guy (Josh Hartnett) and his wife and kids returning to his home town to confront the demons of his past. Jackson plays his son. Shane McRae plays Dickie Barnett, his enemy.

More after the break.  Caution: Explicit.

In "The Treehouse," a 2021 episode of the paranormal series Just Beyond, Jackson plays a bully who destroys the comic book that Sam (Cedric Joe) inherited from his dead father, leading to a parallel world and an impossible choice.  He notes on his instagram, "I am totally opposed to bullyinig," so fans don't get the wrong idea.  

Jackson's last work listed on the IMDB is The Legend of Kate Kensington (2022),  a Christian film about a bereaved girl and her friends trying to find out what happened to a woman who wandered away from a mental hospital in 1942.  Why is a Jewish guy playing in so many Christian films?

Presumably Jackson hasn't done much acting in the last three years because he's busy at Florida State University, Tallahassee, class of 2027 (which makes him 20 years old as of this writing).  He does photography for Strike magazine and belongs to the Skate Club.

And, apparently, goes to toga parties.

And other kinds of parties

His instagram and facebook don't show any ladies, this is definitely a femme hairstyle, and Def Leppard had a gay singer, so maybe Jackson is gay in real life.

On the other hand, guys who star in Christian movies....

And look uncannily like Braxton Alexander....
