You've
seen him on Dawson's Creek. He's even dabbled with the Mighty Ducks. But
this time around, Joshua Jackson's taking on an Ivy League secret
society that's just dying to get him into The Skulls. I sat down with
Josh recently to talk about his amazing career. Here's how it went...
|
|
Betty:
Okay, about that Star Wars myth. Have you really auditioned for it?
Joshua:
No.
Me and every other white male actor between the age of 14 and 30 got to
go meet with the casting director, but I don't think they're having an
auditioning process. Although I wouldn't turn the job down if it was
offered.
 Betty:
The Skulls' director Rob Cohen told me that you gave him a watch from a
secret society. Where the heck did you pick that up? A secret swap meet?
Joshua:
I got it from a place called Wanna Buy A Watch in L.A. The 12 symbols
are all of the secret societies - the Masonic societies - and the symbol
at the very top is the Skulls.
It was some guy's and when he died it ended up at this store. What's
weird is the company that makes it doesn't have it listed in their
catalog or anything.
Betty:
That's because it's a secret.
Joshua:
Yeah!
Betty:
Did you do research on those societies for the part?
Joshua:
I didn't know they existed but there's an internet site that has an 18
page dossier on these guys with a list on all of the members with their
various positions in society - who's been tapped in, when and where…
Betty:
Yikes.
Joshua:
I know, it's weird.
Betty:
Were you ever approached by these cats?
Joshua:
No, but I hear they wait until you begin your senior year and the
rituals are intense. The stuff we put in the movie is tame compared to
what they really do. The rebirth ritual has some guy laying naked in a
coffin masturbating.
Betty:
It doesn't sound that different from a fraternity pledge.
Joshua:
Yeah, you're right.
Betty:
Are you on hiatus yet from Dawson's Creek?
Joshua:
We shoot until April 12 and then I have three months off and then I go
back.
Betty:
Will there be more kissing scenes with Katie Holmes?
Joshua:
There can never possibly be enough kissing with Katie Holmes!
Betty:
Okay, what's this I hear about your co-star Kerr Smith having a
flatulence problem? Now, here's your chance to set the record straight.
Joshua:
Oh man! That was James (Van Der Beek) who busted him on Donnie and
Marie. He said, "Kerr's always farting!" They went around to a
couple of guys and James - I don't know why - brings up Kerr's ass. I'm
here to vouch for the guy - he does not have a flatulence problem.
Betty:
And what about your other co-star Michelle Williams? She sure did a
great job in "If These Walls Could Talk 2."
Joshua:
Michelle is great. She's a ballsy girl. Unfortunately, she's our most
underused asset on the show. She's a really strong young actress and
she's a girl who'll never be a bubble gum actress. That's not an easy
decision - to play a lesbian - at 20 years old. You have to respect her
for having the moxie to make those choices.
Betty:
You strike me as such a free-thinking individual and you seem very
comfortable with your self and your opinions. Where'd you get that from?
Joshua:
Was I a precocious child? I grew up in a single parent family so there's
a certain amount of freedom that comes with that. While providing to put
food on the table, my mom removes herself from my sphere of influence
for 12 hours out of the day. I was given more responsibility at a young
age. And my mother, well … I come from a long line of non-conformists.
Betty:
Well, it suits you well.
Joshua:
I could have told her I wanted to be anything and she would've said,
"go ahead and do it. But do it well.
Betty:
Well, mama would be proud Joshua. You're the best! Thanks for chatting
with me.
Joshua:
You are so very welcome.

"I would tell the government that a system more
concerned with death and destructiont than the prosperity of life has no chance
of succeeding. And if that didn't work, I would just tell him I had dirty
pictures of him."

closet..." "I can't, it's too obvious" - Pacey and Dawson
"Wouldn't that just piss my dad off?"
"Dawson, these people SUCK! How can I resist telling them that?"
"My mom said to put this stuff on your teeth." "Why?"
"I have no idea!" - Dawson, Pacey
"You know, I'm sure there is a support group for gay officers."
"Call it the law of averages, call it an act of God, call it whatever you
want, but I got her"
"Gimme a dozen oysters Joey."
"And if he were here, he would destroy those who would judge him, with
sparks from his eye & wit from his ass!"
"Your tongue was in my mouth"
"Joey, you die so well, Dawson, can we get an other one of thowes, cause I
so love that image."

have your hand" - Pacey, Abby

reindeer games?"

like one of the village people?"
"Only morrons go to summer school." "Ya, well the last time I
checked you were pulling a steller F-, so without this extra credit project
Pacey, I'm very well certain that your grade will not only place you squarly
among the morrons, but you may very well be there leader." - Pacey, Joey
"I just thought that maybe snails were just like guys, you know, that there
ultimate fanicy was to be with two female snails at the same time, and I knew
that that is what this project needed to get moving along."
