Joshua Jackson Looks Back At His Most Iconic Roles | Role Call | Entertainment Weekly

[@dominiqueeden]

Most attractive thing about this wonderful human? His character! and his respect for his colleagues, especially the women. I could listen to him complementing people all day - He’s so good at it and it doesn't feel forced, more like completely genuine.

[@lollypop2414]

Absolutely! Joshua Jackson has always been one of the good ones! Super talented and a wonderful person!

[@Meganegtorres1012]

He is Canadian and Canadians are known for being super nice!!

[@dee4716]

Have you seen the way he looks at his wife 😍 and talks about his children!

[@wanderlust1334]

[@luckyDancer100]

1:00 “I am the advocate.” Haha. I’m so glad he advocated for that relationship. It changed the entire trajectory of the show for the better.

[@oliviaoverboard]

fringe is truly one of the best sci fi shows to ever exist. it's one of my favorite shows and every time i rewatch it i am just amazed by it

[@vicjames3256]

"You are my favorite thing, Peter. My very favorite thing" is one of my favorite lines, and the moment he shares with John Noble in that scene always gets me teary.

[@starsandsunsets]

I've always like him since Mighty Ducks and loved him as Pacey Witter. Dawson's Creek is such a special show and that Castaway episode in S6 is gold for all PJ shippers. Fringe blew me away, amazing amazing show and he did so well as Peter Bishop.

[@123haninhk]

I love the fact that his own wife (Jodie Turner-Smith) is a huge Pacey x Joey shipper 💕 💞

[@shelbycarne]

really!! wow! love that!

[@cannsmith]

Jodie is the best!

His articulation to how he described his characters in all the shows and movies he did, were excellent. Joshua is one of the best actors.

[@angelicaadams]

Season 6 Castaways!! ICONIC. Honestly, couldn't be more grateful to him.

[@candacecraft8679]

He made such an impact on me at such a young age on Dawson's creek that I named my son Pacey. The character stuck with me that much, and I can't see my son fitting into any other name. The fact that his fav and most memorable moment from Dawson's creek is Castaways. One of the most iconic episodes of the entire show. 🤍 Forever and always a Joshua fan.

[@drewrayg]

I love the way he speaks. Especially, hearing how he feels about “When they see us”, he gets it. Smart and fine yes! Also, loved him on “Fringe”.

[@lisamccoy6514]

Just starting to appreciate this wonderful actor the more I see. Loved him in Fringe as Peter but my gosh the acting in Dr. Death wow I loved this clip of him being so open honest & wonderful. Fan for life here !!💖

[@S24ARJ]

Is everyone forgetting how good Joshua Jackson was in The Affair... loved that show for the first three seasons!

[@mangos2888]

9:10

[@kristamkm]

I’ve met him and he is so genuine and nice. I can’t believe they didn’t highlight the movie “One Week”. I thought it was an incredible movie, truly Canadian, and he was amazing in it.

[@bellareid3488]

Yes!

[@thesacramento_chef]

He’s still so handsome, I love his voice.

[@belllabean]

god, he is absolutely delicious~!

[@violinamajorov5667]

He is gorge. I still have a crush on him in my 30s. It's not going anywhere

[@marianflorea1514]

Amazing as Peter Bishop, I love Peter and Olivia as a couple, amazing chemistry!A very good actor

[@leeparsons-qu6yv]

i agree i loved them as a couple too was a love story for the ages! one of the great ones and there acting chemistry was outstanding!

[@user-oc2nq5cd2z]

There are men who look more and more irresistibly attractive as they age. Joshua is one of them. It is also because of what he says and how he says it.

[@allih8021]

I will never not love Joshua Jackson. I loved him in the Mighty Ducks (well D2, is my true favorite), I loved him as Pacey Whitter (PACEY! SWOON!), I loved him in Cruel Intentions, I loved him on Fringe (Peter Bishop! SWOON PART DEUX!), I loved him in The Affair .... I don't think I've ever seen him in anything I didn't think he was great in. But more to the point, he seems to be a truly lovely person and even more likeable and kind (and dare I say, handsome?) in real life than he is on screen. He seems so honest and genuine and humble - a pretty rare combo in Hollywood. Thanks for this EW!

[@Louisefenner]

Watching Fringe after my husband ( who has watched it twice before) convinced me. Not my normal genre but I loved it. Such great characters and just loved Joshua as Peter Bishop. Such expressive, kind eyes.

[@gabetelevisiononline]

Great actor and seems to be an even better human being!

[@jasbb2]

Fringe was sooo good. Going back and rewatching

[@Airujah]

Joshua Jackson is great! Pacey was definitely the best thing about Dawson's Creek!

[@TheHaloRed]

Peter Bishop from Fringe!

[@kpool694]

Have loved him since mighty ducks and he never disappoints. He is so very well spoken and I could listen to him all day.

[@Mai-rn9wp]

The actor who has a message to pass on through his work, trully amazing, thank you for your roles

[@stacy7672]

[@weasley2o13]

He looks so good like this, my God...

[@danielleelizaharpz]

I was waiting for them to mention his tiny scream 2 cameo which I loved even tho it was tiny he’s so cute in it !!!!!

[@aprilphillips3404]

Definitely one of my all time favorite people. Joshua Jackson has always been my favorite growing up and he gets better with age. I love how he mentioned Castaways on Season 6, because that was my favorite all time episode. I knew exactly which one he was referring to and it was Kmart, not Walmart. lol ;)

[@lunaccodesign]

Definitely was my favorite episode as well!

[@luckyDancer100]

Castaways is possibly the best episode in the series and it speaks volumes for the fact that it’s just Pacey and Joey. It’s basically a mini romcom.

[@may.k_me]

I literally grew up watching him. From the Mighty Ducks movies, to Dawson's Creek, to Urban Legend, to Fringe, to The Affair. Forgot about his Cruel Intentions cameo, and also about Shutter.

[@ExitLight]

Fringe is one of the best tv shows ever written. I’ve watched every season several times through.

[@tarae5076]

I JUST watched the Kmart episode last night. It’s my favorite!

[@debradark2389]

I recently watched Dr Death and he was amazing in it. Such a gut wrenching story about this real doctor who hurt so many people. It started me on a re-watch of Fringe. I love the show and the relationship between Peter and Walter. You could tell they enjoyed working together it bled through and made the portrayals that more authentic. The comment he made about not doing a role because he was a father now was interesting to me. The scene in Fringe when he lost his daughter made me cry! Of course there’s a time reset and he gets her back but it must be very difficult for him as well as other actors to play a role with that loss. Such a great interview.

[@kevinm4022]

i was for the longest time saying i have to watch fringe i have to watch fringe and it took years till i actually saw it and boy did i ever enjoy it. I have binged it several times

[@aliengranpa]

[@yankeegirl3380]

He is handsomer now than he was when he was a kid.. and he was so cute when he was a kid. Maybe it's because he has the love of two beautiful women..his wife and daughter.❤️❤️❤️❤️ GOD bless. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@glass12full23]

The longevity of his career with such iconic characters is pretty amazing . . . and he was just nominated for a Critics' Choice Award for playing Dr. Death. Yes, I'm a fan :)

[@davebow5646]

I had no idea that Jackson has been acting professionally since he was a kid. He has picked his acting gigs well and you can see that he has grown as an actor overtime. And he still seems humble. Very cool.

[@CloisForever29]

Such a great actor ♥️

[@Nazaba09]

I’ve met josh twice in my life-when I was 14 and an extra on Dawson’s creek (in 2000) and in 2010 at comic con. Both times he was an absolute doll. Just don’t stand next to him Too long. His add will drive you nuts. 🤣

[@Elphiyero10]

Been a fan since Fringe, but Dr. Death is on another level. I've watched it twice, and it's not an easy watch. It's such an important story, though, and the series recognizes that and is so thoughtful and brilliant in how it tells that story. All the acting, from Jackson to Baldwin, Slater and Mamie Gummer, is so brilliant too. I can't recommend it enough.

[@lynneb975]

My favourite pacey scenes were when he was acting with his screen dad. So emotional. Also his role in skulls with the beautiful Paul walker

[@maggiem22]

the pop rocks scene in urban legend is objectively the best scene in cinematic history thanks for that josh❤️

[@stephaniemarie4303]

You forgot Norman Reedus.

[@stephanieleuenberger2868]

I've been a huge fan since The Mighty Ducks and was Team Pacey from Day 1! :) I love seeing him reflect on these past roles that were so important in the "Coming of Age" part of so many of our lives! Wonderful human, fantastic actor!

I’m surprised magic in the water wasn’t mentioned that was a good movie Josh was in when he was young although forever pacey to me as I was hooked on Dawsons creek and so glad Josh had that convo with Kevin Williamson cos Pacey that season was brilliant and the way him and Joey were loved it

[@mcwright0178]

Wish they mentioned Bobby, him coming back as an adult and working with and being directed by Emilio was just so great to see. And He will forever be Pacey Witter to me, even though I love the Mighty Duck franchise and The Skulls. I came late to the Dawson’s Creek game, I literally only started watching on summer break from school the year it was going into its final season. TBS had a two or three hour block of it on every Monday through Friday and being a teenager without a job or car I woke up most days right on time to sit down and watch those episodes being as it started at 10 or 11am. I think I picked up as season two started playing and by the end of the summer I had scratched up enough money to get the first couple of seasons on dvd so that I could watch season one and then rewatch as far as I could and then I DVR’d the entire final season and waited until I could be caught up to watch the end of it all. Dawson’s Creek to this day captures my imagination because my love of film as a watcher and being a dreamer identify with and then the black sheep of the family the one generally viewed as the screw up and feeling deep in my soul that I was someone’s at the time star crossed lover I identified with as well. Everyone I knew was more of a Dawson and aspired to be a Pacey just like me. And Pacey’s William Wallace monologue to be Miss Capside still a piece of art to this day.

[@rowancoates.2054]

Fringe is some of his best.

[@Rubester-cl6op]

Had such a crush on Pacey in my teen years lol. His wife is a lucky lady and Josh is a lucky man too have her too!

Josh Jackson is always such a lovely presence in my childhood memories (Pacey and Joey probably had a lot to do with that) x
