Dawson's Creek Cast Birthdate: June 11, 1978
Candian Kid, Joshua Jackson
Joshua Jackson grew up in
Vancouver, Canada and was... well, a troublemaker. Jackson got
expelled from two different high schools before finishing his
diploma through correspondence with Kitsilano Secondary School. Dying for a chance to show-off his wit and smart-mouth, Joshua Jackson begged his
casting director mother to send him out on
auditions when he was only nine. A short time later, Joshua Jackson landed the
big role of Charlie in the
Mighty Ducks movie series - and the rest is history.
Joshua Jackson Lands Dawson's Creek
At the age of 18 Joshua Jackson was ticked off that his career seemed to be going nowhere. A friend of Joshua Jackson's introduced him to screenwriter, Kevin Williamson. Williamson was in the process of casting a semi-autobigraphical
TV show about four friends called Dawson's Creek. Joshua Jackson auditioned for the role of
Dawson but luckily, Joshua Jackson
was cast as
Pacey Witter instead and a very cool character was born.
Joshua Jackson, Movie Star
On top of Dawson and the Ducks, Joshua Jackson's had small parts in movies like
Scream 2,
Cruel Intentions,
Gossip and scored a starring role in
The Skulls. Oh yeah, and Joshua Jackson has also managed to get the girl - on several occasions. He has dated co-stars
Brittany Daniel (played Eve on Dawson's Creek) and Katie Holmes, AKA
Joey. Looks like reality and fantasy are blurred on this one.
