Christopher Jackson originated the role of President George Washington for Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Broadway smash Hamilton – a role he’ll reprise in the film version, set to debut on…
and, when the COVID-19 pandemic relents enough to allow actors back on sets, will perform in his old pal Miranda’s upcoming film version of Jonathan Larson’sToday, though, Jackson spends much of his time establishing and following the new routines of this stay-at-home pandemic – a morning walk, a detailed updating on the two erasable whiteboards that outline each day’s activity, sometimes each moment, for Jackson’s two children with wife Veronica: 10-year-old Jadelyn and 15-year-old CJ.
DEADLINE: Does he have a sense – as much as any of us do – of what’s happening on a day to day basis? Is there a different perspective that he brings to this new normal?and why is it killing people? It took on very much like, What is this monster? If I was going to put it into some tactile way, it really was like, There’s a monster out there, it’s invisible and it’s killing people.
But if there’s a bright spot in all of this, in terms of the home experience, it’s been that we have grown in our understanding of what our kids are like and we’ve gotten to know them much better. That is truly a bright spot.

At that time, we didn’t know he had perfect pitch, and that he couldn’t bear the sound of group singing becausesings Happy Birthday on key. For us it would be the equivalent of fingernails on a chalkboard. So we started to sing in a whisper and he seemed to do OK with that, but it took us years to know how to adapt to that.
manage our kids’ expectations. When they’re feeling stress, it affects us. If they’re happy then we tend to be good.
