Jackson is often the comic relief of the series, making jokes, making people get hurt, and dancing silly. He's an indifferent student, more fond of video games, girls, and food than he is of schoolwork. He works at Rico's Surf Shop and drives a red car that he purchased for himself. His storylines often form a comedic subplot during the show.
Jackson is very much interested in sports, like playing volleyball on the school team. According to Miley, he goes to basketball games once a week and likes the Los Angeles Dodgers. He also likes the Los Angeles Lakers, and enjoys watching the Tennessee Titans football games with his Dad. He likes taking challenges, and beat the world record for pogo-jumping by four hours. He also has been seen playing video games. In "Bye Bye Ball", he was playing on what could be the Nintendo Game Boy or Game Boy Color. Also in "We Are Family: Now Get Me Some Water!", Jackson is also skilled at plumbing.
Jackson is rather messy, and has made all of the Stewart family's previous housekeepers quit. However, when Lilly cleans his room, he has difficulty finding things.
Though Jackson has had many friends, his closest friend is Rico. His other friends include Cooper, Thor, and Oliver. Over the course of the series, he has made temporary friendships, but none of them have lasted, at least on screen.
