So, Jermaine tell our readers that may not be familiar with you or your work just who you are and what it is that you do exactly. Well I’m an actor coming out of Columbia SC… I’ve been acting for about 4yrs now, I’ve work on a couple independent films that’s on YouTube title “Successful”, “Let The Beat Build” and Faith For Christmas… I have some films I’m in on Tubi as well title “Trap Flix Party”, “Suga Babies”, and “Lilith’s Ball”… Just trying to take this thing to the next level…. 

2. So, what inspired you to start your journey as an actor? I’ve always dream of being on TV I love watching movies and TV series… Growing up I use to make people laugh by acting out certain scenes from movies and everyone use to tell me I should be in a movie all the time…. So I start looking around to see who was doing any local filming where I’m from… Started out just being an extra in the background too starring in my first film and just been working since… 

3. Man of The Year? How and when were you coined as such and how do you feel that title fits you? Well that phrase came from the director Felicia Rivers as she was writing the film. But I feel the title fits me because around that time last year I was on a roll filming back to back so you can say I was feeling like the “Man Of The Year” lol…. 

4. So, on to the new mega hit movie! How was it co-starring alongside the beautiful and talented Nikki Natural? Aw man…it was a blessing man. Her presents is everything! She really did her thing I can’t complain...

5. I mean I met Nikki briefly and she seemed cool but of course it was during a club appearance so one can never know if that's the real her. But you were actually on set with her working alongside her, so I guess my question is how is she really? She was cool very professional she came ready knowing her lines and delivered them very well I wouldn’t mind working with her again some day… 

6. What was your favorite part about filming this movie and how do you feel it connects with you personally? My favorite part was just working with some professional actors who been filming for years, so watching and learning from them was a blessing I was trying too soak up as game as I could to my acting to the next level….The connection that I had with the character personally was the women… I feel like most men wants to live like bachelor before they get married lol 

7. So what’s next for the “Man of the Year? Exploring any new sides to your artistry. I don’t know, maybe rapping lol? Lol I use to do music when I was in high school… Who knows I may pick back up the pen one day but for now I’m just focused on acting for now…. 

8. Is there something in specific that you want people to know about you or your art? I’m very passionate about my talent or anything I get into and you will see that when you watch the films I’m in and that Im here too inspirer others… 

9. Ok we do this every interview! What artists would you absolutely die to work with? Aww man Denzel Washington, 50 Cent, Tasha Smith, Lakeith Stanfeild, Issa Rae, Omari Hardwick, Damson Idris, Forest Whitaker The list goes on and on lol… 

10. Now you know our lady readers want to know. Is their a “Woman of the Year” or special someone in your life? Naw not at the moment I’m single as a hit record right now lol I got tunnel vision when it comes to acting so I’m just focus not rushing anything but I feel like God will put her in my life when the time is right…. 

11. Tell our readers how they can book you and connect with you on the world wide web and on the socials. You all can follow and book me through Instagram and Facebook My Instagram is @actorjermaine_jackson And my Facebook is Jermaine Jackson…
