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.
