Joshua Jackson ~ Pacey
Witter
|
 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 of 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. |
