His name is Jackson Millarker, and he is 8 years old and the first transgender to appear in a Tv series. In the last episode of “Modern Family”, one of the top USA sitcoms aired on MTV, this young boy from the state of Georgia, who was born into a family of two moms who always believed in him, made his acting debut. Only a few months ago, in fact, one of his moms, Stacey, launched a crowdfunding campaign on the platform Go Fund Me, to raise money for Jackson’s acting classes. Today, after a very short time, Jackson’s dream has become a reality. And to announce it on his Twitter account is the director of the TV series, Ryan Case. “I am so proud to have directed this little guy, who is the youngest actor to be openly trans” –he wrote. And it seems as if the young boy did extremely well, seeing that everyone is now betting on his bright future in TV.
