Jackson Che's journey in the entertainment industry began in his childhood, where he showcased his talents by starring in most of his school plays from kindergarten onwards. This early exposure to the world of acting was facilitated by Dr. Joseph Mingrone at Bishop Ford High School, who introduced Che to the method of acting, specifically the Strasberg technique and the principles of Constantin Stanislavski. However, acting was not Che's initial passion; music held a special place in his heart.
After completing two years at Rider University, Che decided to pursue his music career and embarked on a rap tour. It would take him a decade to revisit his interest in acting. In 2007, while filming a music video, he befriended a gaffer who was attending NYU Tisch Film School at the time. This chance encounter led to Che being asked to play a small role in a student film, which rekindled his passion for acting. Within a short span of two years, he wrote, directed, and/or starred in several short films, navigating the festival circuit with ease.
In 2009, Che landed a role in the indie film Breaking Up Is Hard To Do (2010) with Blue Lion Club Productions, which was shot in Atlanta. Two years later, while working on another BLC Productions film, Probable Cause (2012),he was introduced to the producers of a dance-themed reality show, who hired him as a segment host. This opportunity led him to relocate to Atlanta.
Following his move, Che made a brief appearance on an episode of Tyler Perry's House Of Payne (2012) and collaborated with rapper David Banner in the web series Walking With Gods (2013),playing the role of Banner's arch-nemesis, The Grim Reaper, also known as Man In The White Mask. He subsequently appeared in a supporting role in the indie feature First Impression (2014) alongside Lamman Rucker, Carl Anthony Payne II, and Thomas Mikal Ford. Che's performance in the indie drama Curveball (2015) as Spencer, starring alongside Rockmond Dunbar, Lynn Whitfield, and Jean-Luc McMurtry, has received widespread acclaim for its gritty intensity.
