The exceptional businessman serves as CEO of G-Unit Records, which he founded in 2003, and has since signed a host of multiplatinum artists.

Jackson has carved out a television and film career as both a producer and star. In 2005, he founded G-Unit Film & Television Inc., which has produced a wide variety of content across numerous platforms and sold shows to multiple networks.

He is also developing a number of new projects including “Intercepted” and “Trill League” at Starz and the series “For Life,” a serialized legal and family drama that will premiere in February on ABC. 

Additional credits include the variety show “50 Central” on BET and “The Oath” on Sony Crackle, the network’s most-watched new original series. Jackson’s film career has included roles in several blockbusters, most recently “Den of Thieves,” co-starring opposite Gerard Butler. Jackson has signed on to produce the sequel along with Butler.

Jackson has also appeared alongside Jake Gyllenhaal in Antoine Fuqua’s boxing drama “Southpaw,” and “Spy” with Melissa McCarthy.
