More than a pretty face, Jaxon, also known as Jax,  can name all the Thomas Trains and encourages fire safety with his uncanny ability locate the smoke alarm in every apartment he enters (he points and says "chirper").

Key to Awesomeness: Though he was born into the business — his parents are filmmakers and actors — genetics alone did not gift Jaxon with his celebrity status. According to his mom, the second he was born, his father snapped a picture with a flash so powerful that all the nurses yelled out in protest. Now, whenever Jax sees a camera or hears "give me the look," he strikes a pose with a big smile.

He keeps his strength up for all this work with a lot of sleep and a very healthy diet, including a love of all things green. Jaxon is also an avid music lover, attending local classes and practicing at home. He does a killer cover of "The Itsy Bitsy Spider."
