Jackson Rod Stewart (born May 19, 1990) is the brother of Miley Ray Stewart and the son of Robby Ray Stewart.

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. Until he finished high school, he worked 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, 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 Tennesee 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". Jackson is also skilled at plumbing.

In the series finale, Rico fires Jackson, having previously rehired him to work at his new pizza place, to force him to get a real job. After failing to find one, Rico realizes that Jackson is the closest thing he has to a friend and vice-versa, and decides to call in a favor to get him a job as a video game tester. This causes Jackson and Rico to finally admit that they are friends.

Jackson is very messy, and has made all of the Stewart family's previous housekeepers quit. However, when Lilly cleans his room, he has difficulty finding things. Jackson is of below-average height for his age and is shorter than both Miley and Lilly, which he is often teased about. Despite the fact that Jackson is a teenager, Jason Earles was in his late 20's when the show started (nearly 28 years old). When the show ended, he was in his mid 30's.

Friends

Though Jackson has had many friends, his closest friend is Rico Suave. His other friends include Cooper, Thor, and Oliver Oken. Over the course of the series, he has made temporary friendships, but none of them have lasted, at least on screen.

Relationships/Crushes
