Born
Clinton Page Jackson in Oakland California, Clinton is the
youngest of 3 and the only son. An imaginative child inclined to
perform, Clinton stood empty handed at "Show & Tell", told his
jokes, and officially claimed his identity as comedian at the
age of 9.
Clinton
honed his craft in San Francisco's thriving comedy scene. As a
stand-up, he has appeared on numerous national stand-up
television shows. He recently taped his own half hour comedy
special "Comedy Central Presents" which debuted in the spring of
2004. Clinton's CD titled "Clinton Jackson - 'Nuff Said" was
released on Uproar Records.
On stage
Clinton moves about as if he were in a boxing match delivering
material that is not only hilarious to hear but brilliantly
visual as well. He's clever and engaging with a unique point of
view. He works clean on stage, earning him the respect of his
peers and giving him a broad cross over appeal.
Following
his acclaimed performance at HBO's prestigious Aspen Comedy
Festival, Clinton moved to Los Angeles to pursue his other love
- acting. He was then cast as science teacher "Mezz Crosby"
appearing for two seasons on the WB's "Nick Freno". Clinton also
guest starred in "Cybill" as well as "Dharma & Greg". True to
form, Clinton has appeared in several shows on family friendly
networks such as Nicklelodeon, and most recently, the Disney
Channel's "That's So Raven". |
