J. Riley Jackson Jr., known professionally as Riley Jackson, was an American writer, producer, ADR director and supervisor, and film dubber. Beginning a long career in radio in his home state of Illinois during the Golden Age of Radio, Jackson moved to Hollywood in the late 1940s and branched out into television and film work.[2][3] In 1961, he and fellow showman Robert Patrick established the distribution company Parade Releasing,[4] which handled the edited U.S. release of the Toho war film The Storm of the Pacific (1960), retitled "I Bombed Pearl Harbor." Jackson took up dialogue writing duties on the Americanization alongside Hugo Grimaldi, dubbing director-editor of Gigantis, the Fire Monster, the 1959 U.S. version of Godzilla Raids Again (1955), garnering the attention of UPA post-production supervisor Richard Krown, who hired him as the dialogue writer for the U.S. English dub of Invasion of Astro-Monster (1965).[5] This in turn led him to do further work on the English-dubbed versions of Japanese tokusatsu and kaiju films throughout the rest of his career. Jackson passed away due to complications from cancer[5] in Newport Beach on September 5, 1993 at the age of 76.
