Character Analysis
(Avoiding Spoilers)
Overview... baby of the family who is prone to mischief and mishaps. He worships his dad Andre… but Andre Johnson isn’t always the best man to emulate. He puts a lot of thought into how he operates in the world – especially the extremely white world surrounding them. Jack, as a six year-old, does not.
Personality... energetic, upbeat, and easily impressionable. He’s old enough for his dad to play him “Gold Digger” in the car, but young enough that when he performs the song at a talent show, he doesn’t know not to say certain words. Jack’s not eager to grow up though – he’s used to being the baby of the family and wants to milk it as long as he can.
Get to Know him in...

Dre Johnson grew up in Compton, a tough part of Los Angeles. When he achieved success, he moved a few miles away to a nicer—but much whiter—part of town. He's trying to teach his kids to take pride in their heritage in a mostly-white environment. But his son cares more about field hockey than basketball, and his daughter's new boyfriend is not only white—he's French too!
