Jackson Rod Stewart is a fictional character from Hannah Montana, portrayed by Jason Earles. He is the teenage brother of Miley Stewart and son of Robby Stewart.

Character information

Laid back and casual, Jackson is typically the comic relief of the series, using one-liners or calling back names. Jackson is a high school, mediocre student who is far more interested in food, girls, his image, and would much rather be silly than serious, and is best friends with Cooper. At one point, he attempted to secretly date Cooper's sister, but broke up with her because she wasn't worth the trouble.

Like his dad, always treats his sister as Miley rather than Hannah, and always keeps her secret. To help keep Miley's secret, Jackson once posed as her boyfriend, and began using his new-found fame as a magic ticket to popularity. He also does not have a disguise. Whenever Miley has done something wrong, he starts forming an excuse (i.e., "I tried to stop her") that does not involve him although he is usually strongly implicated, and their dad often finds out anyway. "He is a big kiss-up," as stated by his dad.

Jackson has a car that is stereotypically considered a "girl's car," but he did not know until Cooper pointed it out. His father changed the horn from a high-pitched squeak to a truck horn, and made the car a lowrider, with hydraulics and loud sound system, as well as painting it blue. He mentions in Debt It Be that he paid off some of the money by selling tissues used by Miley during her sinus infection on the Internet (he sold them as "Used by Hannah Montana" for $37.95c). He was once found wearing his younger sister's clothes, as he was paid to model them by Hannah's costume designer, and normally wears clothing from American Eagle Outfitters and Hollister Co..

Jackson works at Rico's Surf Shop on the beach. It is named after the owner, and Jackson is often forced to be nice whenever his bratty, manipulative son, Rico, Jr., drops by.

Jackson plays volleyball on the school's team. Jackson is also a big fan of both the "Los Angeles Dodgers", and the "Los Angeles Lakers". It is noted he likes the Dodgers when Miley points out that he goes to baseball games almost every week. It is noted he likes the Lakers when he says that Miley makes him miss baseball and basketball games.^[1]

Jackson has a problem with sugary foods, (It is unclear when this started, although Jackson hints it began when he was 7 at Easter). Robbie Ray mentioned a Halloween several years before when Jackson ate too much candy and Robbie had to chase him on his skates in a Yoda costume at 52 mph.^[2]

Jackson is tone-deaf and during one of Miley's nightmares, he became a rockstar sensation called Bucky Kentucky.^[3]

Jackson and Miley constantly fight. In the episode We Are Family: Now Get Me Some Water!, Miley is tired of hearing Jackson complain about wanting a raise and goes to make Rico ask his father to give Jackson a raise, but instead gets him fired. Also, in You Gotta Not Fight for Your Right to Party Jackson and Miley must share a bathroom and start to fight. They end up trusting each other when they get into a dangerous situation.

Jackson's new friend, Thor, embarrasses him. He showed up in the second season and lived in Minnesota. Jackson remembers he was the new kid once and becomes Thor's only friend despite how embarrassing he thinks Thor is. In the episode You Gotta Not Fight for Your Right to Party, Jackson and Miley (Hannah at the time) borrow Thor's truck in order to get to their parties. They soon drive off a dark road after almost hitting a deer and are almost driven off a cliff (Which was later revealed to be only 2 feet).

He has many clever ways to get him out of sticky situations or get things that can benefit himself, which most of the time fail. Such as the episode You Are So Sue-able to Me, he pretends to have had three burritos and sits on planted whoopie cushions and frightens his dad out of coming to the Lakers game so he doesn't hurt his or Thor's feelings.

He is also known to doing many challenges such as jumping a new record of 16 feet from the piano to the couch in the episode Mascot Love. Or another time in the episode People Who Use People, where he "didn't" do a burping challenge and he was so "not" the champion! He also took part in a pogo-stick jumping contest in Me and Mr. Jonas and Mr. Jonas and Mr. Jonas, which he beat by 4 hours.
