Jackson Robert Scott

Andrés Muschietti had recruited Scott to be a part of his one-hour series pilot of Locke & Key for Hulu as one of the leading young actors opposite Frances O'Connor. He played the part of Bode Locke, the youngest of the siblings. Hulu passed on the pilot and declined to order it to series. However, Netflix later redeveloped the series with a new cast, only keeping Scott as Bode from the Hulu cast. The first season was released on Netflix on February 7, 2020. Scott stated in an interview for AZCentral that Bode has been his favorite character to play, because he shares a lot of qualities with that character, such as his fun-loving personality and his love of bacon. The writers of the show met Jackson while filming so they could incorporate aspects from his real life personality into the character of Bode. Scott also said in the same interview that he grew very close to the other actors of Locke & Key while they were filming the show.

In 2016, Scott was cast to play Georgie Denbrough in the 2017 film adaptation of Stephen King's novel It. Georgie is a character that Pennywise the Dancing Clown haunts at the start of the film. Scott had said that he did not feel intimidated or scared of Bill Skarsgård, who played Pennywise, as Skarsgård was a nice person in real life. Scott attended the premiere for the film at Grauman's Chinese Theatre. He reprised his role of Georgie in the sequel, It Chapter Two, which was released on September 6, 2019.

Continuing in the horror genre, Scott played the title role of Miles Blume in the 2019 film The Prodigy, directed by Nicholas McCarthy. This marked his first starring role in a feature film, and he co-starred alongside Taylor Schilling.

Scott was cast in the role of Troy for the short film Skin (2018), directed by Guy Nattiv, which would go on to win the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film at the 91st Academy Awards.

In 2018, Scott was cast in the role of Tate Millikin for the upcoming independent film Gossamer Folds, directed by Lisa Donato. He co-stars with Alexandra Grey and Shane West. The film is produced by Yeardley Smith.

Scott got his breakout role in 2015 on Criminal Minds, a prime time American TV series. Scott was cast in Season 11’s fourth episode, titled "Outlaw", as Cole Vasquez. The episode aired on October 21, 2015. He also played a minor character in an episode of Fear the Walking Dead titled "TEOTWAWKI", playing the child version of the character Troy Otto.
