Joshua Jackson Could Make a Sailor Blush
At 46 years old, this Canadian-born actor has had his share of hardship and drama throughout his career, which spans several decades and reflects various TV trends. He was a teen heartthrob for over a hundred episodes as Pacey on Dawson’s Creek. Later, he starred in J.J. Abrams’ popular series Fringe, the sci-fi successor to Lost. In the 2010s, he played prestigious roles alongside others in The Affair on Showtime before moving to streaming with an adaptation of Little Fires Everywhere, a bestselling novel. He then took on a role that was far from his usual character as a sociopathic fraud in Dr. Death, a true-crime series. Now, Jackson’s latest project takes him into new territory as both the star and executive producer of Odyssey, where he says the goal is simply to have fun. The team’s measure of a good scene is whether it was enjoyable or not.
