Biography

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 hocky team in the hit Disney films The Mighty Ducks, D2: The Mighty Ducks, and D3: The Mighty Ducks. This boosted his career as a well-known actor. Currently, Jackson and his family divide their time between Vancouver and California.
