Joshua Jackson as Peter Bishop

Born in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 11 June 1978

Josh spent the first eight years of his life in California before returning to Canada. At the age of 11, Josh decided he wanted to pursue acting. Knowing how cruel an acting career could be, his mother, a casting director, took him to his first audition in hopes of discouraging him. Instead, he landed a commercial for Keebler’s potato chips.Since then, Josh has had a full career ranging from theater to television.

Fun Facts
Took time after High School to travel through Europe
Dated Katie Holmes (current Spouse of Tom Cruise)
Screen tested for the title role in Batman Begins, but lost out to Christian Bale.

In my opinion made famous by his role as Pacey Witter on the show “Dawson’s Creek″. A show about four friends in a small coastal town help each other cope with adolescence.
It had 6 award wins & 22 nominations in it’s 6 season run.
