Joshua Jackson
Pacey Witter on "Dawson's Creek"
While Joshua Jackson may play a bumbling adolescent
grasping for adulthood in "Dawson's Creek," the young
actor's focus and determination have
resulted in an accomplished list of
stage, feature film and television
credits.
A native of British Columbia, he landed
his first professional acting job at age
nine, when he was cast in several
commercials for British Columbia
Tourism. This led to a part on the
television series "MacGyver," also shot
in Vancouver, and the lead role as Charlie in a Seattle-based
musical production of "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate
Factory."
Jackson's big-screen debut was in Michael Bortman's
well-received 1991 film "Crooked Hearts." This was quickly
followed by his central performance playing on the ragtag
hockey team in the Disney hit films "The Mighty Ducks" and
"D2: The Mighty Ducks." In "Mighty Ducks 3," he played the
coach's prodigy and the team's voice of reason. Additional
feature credits include "Andre," "Digger" and "Magic in the
Water." In 1998, Jackson will appear in Bryan Singer's "Apt
Pupil," starring Ian McKellen and Brad Renfro.
On the small screen, Jackson has starred in two Showtime
Contemporary Classics: "Robin on Loxly," an updated version
of the Robin Hood legend; and as the lead role in a modern
interpretation of "Romeo and Juliet" called "Ronnie and Julie."
Additional television credits include a recurring role in the
Gary David Golberg series "Champs," as well as a
guest-starring role in the Showtime anthology "The Outer
Limits."
Currently, Jackson and his family divide their time between
Vancouver and California.
