Jackson retired from acting after "Baywatch". He later explained that he had a severe drug problem during the time he was on "Baywatch", and claimed that is why he left the show. He appeared on "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew" in 2011, where is withdrawal from a steroid addiction was documented. In 2017, as part of a plea bargain, Jackson was sentenced to 270 days in jail for a 2015 stabbing. He is out by now, which is good - it turns out, he was facing up to seven years behind bars..
