Malachi White voices Jackson in Alpha 8. I love having two boys in the series who are the same age but have different personalities. Jackson is the "cool" kid who loves sports and video games (as long as they are sports-related). He jokes around a lot with Daniel, but at the end of the day, he will always have his back.Thanks for joining us on the ride with Alpha 8! Subscribe and share if you're on board with our adventure.
