Fan Casting Jackson Jekyll in My Monster High Fancast

Jackson's alter ego is Holt Hyde, known as D.J. Hyde in the Monster High books. His transformation is triggered by heat and sweat in the books and by music in the movies and webisodes. Jackson is a friendly guy who enjoys playing casketball, though he has a geeky fashion sense and is sometimes picked on by other students. He appears to be the only human student at Monster High, making him confused by his apparent normalcy in a school full of monsters. In the diaries, he once asked Draculaura to bite him, as he was afraid they couldn't really be friends when school started. Draculaura was able to talk him out of it, but she could tell he was still depressed. In the Monster High book series, he is not afraid or uncomfortable about being around monsters and interacts with them quite easily. Draculaura noted in her diary that he was unfazed when he met her father, who normally creeps out both humans and monsters. In the cartoon, he seems much more wary around monsters, most likely due to being bullied at school for being a "normie." He even went as far as to say that he "didn't belong," and that no one would want him at Cleo's party in the webisode "Hyde and Shriek." While the Monster High students are unaware of Jackson's/Holt's dual nature, older monsters can sense his duality. This is evident in Draculaura's "Basic" diary when she overhears a conversation between her father and Jackson, where Jackson makes a light joke about stakes. Her father later cryptically tells her that Jackson is more than he appears. Because of his shy personality, his body language is nervous, and he tends to hunch his shoulders.
