Jonathan Jackson

Jonathan Jackson made his daytime debut in 1993, at the age of 11, when he landed the plum role of Lucky Spencer on General Hospital in 1993 during a trip to California. After six years on the soap, two Soap Opera Digest awards, and three Daytime Emmys for Outstanding Younger Actor, Jackson decided it was time to move on. He returned from 2019-11, nabbing two more Daytime Emmys (this time, for Outstanding Supporting Actor), visited in 2015 and reprised Lucky again from 2024-25. For that stint, he received another Supporting Actor trophy in 2025.

Jackson is also known for his film work (Tuck Everlasting, The Deep End of the Ocean) and his 2012-18 run on Nashville as Avery Barkley. He is the frontman of the band Enation and a published poet and author. Married to GH alum Lisa Vultaggio (ex-Hannah) since 2002, Jackson has three children: Caleb (b. 2003), Adora (b. 2005) and Titus (b. 2010).
