Andy Beanstalk "Jack" is first (and only) seen as a prisoner of San Ricardo prison in Puss in Boots. He is an old man and tells Puss in Boots his name is Andy Beanstalk, but his friends call him Jack, thus his name, Jack Andy Beanstalk, is a parody of Jack and the Beanstalk, whom (it is supposed, by his words) he is the character from. All that is known about his early life is what he tells Puss, that he is the Jack that gained the magic beans, went up the beanstalk and (presumably) killed the giant, yet still retained some magic beans on him.
