"Dawson's Creek" actor admits being drunk, disruptive at NHL game


The Associated Press

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - "Dawson's Creek" actor Joshua Jackson, who plays a sensitive party boy on the WB series, was accepted into an alcohol education diversionary program after drunken behavior at a hockey game.
Jackson, 24, was accepted into an alcohol education diversionary program after admitting being drunk and disruptive at a Carolina Hurricanes hockey game on Nov. 9. Jackson plays Pacey on the TV show, which has been filmed mostly in Wilmington during its six-year run. The last episode airs May 14.
Jackson was originally charged with being drunk and disruptive by fighting and simple assault for allegedly grabbing a security guard around the neck and striking him.

After Jackson was arrested, he was tested at the jail and his blood alcohol content showed 0.14.

Prosecutors agreed to dismiss the simple assault charge and amend the drunk and disruptive charge by omitting the fighting allegation.

As part of the diversionary program, Jackson will have to attend 15 hours of alcohol and substance abuse education, which costs $150, and complete 24 hours of community service. Jackson also will have to remain employed and not be convicted of any misdemeanor or felony charges while in the program.

If Jackson completes all the requirements by Oct. 9, prosecutors will dismiss the drunk and disruptive charge. Jackson can then seek to have the charge expunged from his record.

"We thought it was the most appropriate outcome under the circumstances," said Jackson's lawyer, Brad Bannon of Raleigh.

Before Jackson showed up Wednesday morning, courthouse regulars eagerly awaited his appearance, claiming seats inside and outside the courtroom.

Summer McClanahan, 19, and her mother, Robyn, 41, both of Willow Spring, heard from a deputy that there was a treat on the second floor for all "Dawson's Creek" fans. As the pair waited in line to handle their traffic ticket, Summer McClanahan spotted the television star, dressed in a black overcoat and blue suit, seated on a bench outside the courtrooms.

I talked to him at that game after the second period. He had already had a few.

He is a really cool guy though. During Dawsons Creek filming we got into a good converstion about the Canes and Hockey in general. We also talked about the Mighty Ducks movies. He said that there would possibly be a #4 with all new people of course, and added that he got paid to play hockey while making the movies which he really liked.

For those who don't know, he was Charlie in the movies.

From what I hear, he comes out to play pickup at the Iceplex on Sat nights, sometimes... not that often, but occasionally.

Kinda hitting on several related topics, the arrest at the Canes game, his role in the Mighty Ducks movies but not pullling for them in the finals, and his time in Wilmington, NC.

Can't say the guy impresses me. Sounds rather condescending....about each topic... :roll:

Mighty Canuck
Despite Ducks fame, Joshua Jackson still a home-town fan
By JIM SLOTEK -- Toronto Sun
As the cry of "Quack! Quack!" goes up across North America, there is at least one person not thrilled that the Anaheim Mighty Ducks are in the Stanley Cup Finals.

Ironically, it's the star of the Mighty Ducks movies.

"I'm not a Ducks fan. I'm a Canucks fan. Y'know, I'm from Vancouver," says Josh Jackson, 24, who played team leader Charlie Conway in all three Ducks flicks.

"I like (Anaheim's) Paul Kariya, he's a great player. But the problem for me with that team is the "Mighty." I mean, hockey's got a lot of silly names: Penguins, Leafs. But at least they're not the Ferocious Maple Leafs."

Jackson says he never has even been invited to a Ducks game, and tellingly, he has never called L.A. home. The illusion of Hollywood persists with Jackson's roles in films such as The Skulls, Cruel Intentions, and June 6's release, the suburban-hell indie film The Safety Of Objects co-starring Glenn Close and Dermot Mulroney. Jackson was in Toronto earlier this week to promote the movie.

But as Dawson's Creek fans can tell you, for the past six years he has been playing Dawson's friend Pacey in the series, which until its recent series finale was shot in sleepy Wilmington, N.C.

In Wilmington, Jackson says he got to surf, concentrate on his work, and for excitement there was the occasional hurricane -- four in six years.

And also the occasional Carolina Hurricanes NHL game, such as the one back in November when he was arrested for assaulting a security guard. The mishap happened, he says, after a friend spilled beer on someone in the next row while celebrating a goal, and the friend was promptly taken down by security.

"What a lot of BS this was," he said after being shown a wire story claiming he was in rehab. "I've got to take two six-hour alcohol education seminars. I don't even know what that means. The woman who runs the program says it means I watch a movie. And (do) 12 hours of community service. That's fine."

Wilmington also amounts to his entire experience with things suburban. The Safety Of Objects, which had the bad luck to debut at the Toronto filmfest on Sept. 10, 2001 and has been in indie-film limbo since, involves three messed-up families in lovely split-level homes whose lives intertwine tragically.

Mulroney is a lawyer dad who gives it all up when he realizes how empty his life is after years of overwork. Patricia Clarkson is a single mom with a secret. Close is a mom whose rock-band singer son (Jackson) is left brain dead from an accident.

The latter means Jackson plays more than half the film in a coma. "Some of my finest work," he says.

"And Glenn's done some pretty good coma work herself," he says, referencing her role as Sunny Von Bulow. "I don't consider it acting, but the technical bits are difficult -- not flinching when people touch you, not laughing is hard, breathing in the same rhythm as the respirator."

And what about the supposed hell of suburbia, which has already been driven home in films such as The Ice Storm and American Beauty? "I grew up in Kitsilano, which is not like this place. But there's something about the cookie-cutter houses in the suburbs I instinctually fear.

"In Wilmington, there are tons of tract houses. And there are friends I had for six years -- I still couldn't find their houses. They have neighbourhood councils that tell you you can't plant certain flowers, can't put a flamingo on your lawn, can't paint your house.

"I actually had a conversation with a friend about what shade of beige to paint the house, because you could only have beige. And shades of beige, that's how you express your individuality there." (More on Joshua Jackson)

[VandyCane]

He appeared on "The Daily Show" with John Stewart. He was a total jerk. Talking about how stupid it was to get arrested for fighting at a hockey game. Cracks about how everyone fights at hockey games and that he just got picked on for who he was, yada, yada, yada. Condescending to Raleigh in general. Didn't seem like a nice guy.

[nccanes]

More crap from this chump.....

Excerpt from the Toronto Star:

He will take a break from acting, which will leave him time to complete the community service portion of a sentence he received in court earlier this year.

Jackson was charged with assault and being drunk and disruptive following an incident last November in North Carolina, where Dawson's Creek was shot.

A self-confessed hockey fanatic, ("the Canucks are my guys") Jackson had treated 95 members of the show's cast and crew to tickets to a Carolina Hurricanes game in Raleigh, N.C..

"A friend of mine spilled a beer, and got manhandled by a security guard," explains Jackson sardonically, admitting he'd had a few beers himself.

"I looked over and saw a guy kneeling on my friend's back, so I got in there ... The whole thing took eight seconds and I spent the night in Wade County Safety Centre. They don't call it jail there."

Others were involved in the incident, but Jackson thinks he was nailed unfairly. "I'm a bit pissed off that I was the only guy who got dragged out of the hockey arena. It seemed like special treatment to me."

The judge's sentence wasn't even the worst of it. "Believe me," says Jackson, "there was no end to the schtick I took from the cast and crew after that. They got me good."

He hopes to fulfill the community service requirement by acting as a hockey referee for kids in Vancouver. But he'll have to fly back to North Carolina to complete the rest of the sentence — two six-hour alcohol education seminars.

"I don't know what to expect at an alcohol education seminar," laughs Jackson. "Maybe they teach the different kinds of liquor."


Perhaps I'm the only one on the planet that never watched Dawson's Creek and wouldn't know Joshua Jackson if I tripped over him, but I find it curious that he presumes the Security Guard that grabbed him and tossed him did so because of who he was. I mean it couldn't have been the fact that he jumped a different security guard that was restraining his friend. :roll:

[Jeff O Rocks]

He sounds like a jerk...I wouldn't know him in a crowded arena either...maybe not even on a one on one meeting...the bottom line is..he was a dumbas* drunk and he got busted.. :mad:

...and it sounds like he needs to learn the different kinds of liquor and how someone MATURE can handle them!! :beatup:

I'm with you, Eileen. I saw part of that happen at the game and I had NO idea who he was. Taking a drunk out for fighting was what I thought. Sounds like he has more ego than anything else.

[StormShaman]

I knew there was a reason I didn't like "Dawson's Creek". :p

[rons#1fan]

I guess I'm in the minority here. I watched Dawson's Creek and Joshua Jackson's character, Pacey, was my favorite. He got the girl in the end. Maybe he should have taken some hints from the character he played. He was reckless but sweet as could be. I'm disappointed to hear that he is a "jerk". Oh well, chalk it up to being young and famous.

same here. I watched dawson's creek for the six years it was on and I watched tons of interviews with the cast. I'm dissapointed to hear him be called a jerk...he seems nice and funny to me, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I also think he's been pretty respectful to NC while filming here...he even gave us a shoutout on MTV...I believe that this whole thing was blown way out of porportion, but either way, I still like him...

I believe that this whole thing was blown way out of porportion

I would tend to agree with you there.

Okay you know it's the off season when we're talking about this ;)

I'm not sure what was blown out of proportion? He admits he jumped a security guard. I can tell you I would be some pissed off if a drunk (I know people that said he was wasted) jumped a security guard near me and that person wasn't escorted from the bldg.

If he's still willing to talk about it (in this manner), he is the one making the a big deal about it.

And my comment about Dawson's Creek wasn't commentary, just pointing out that there are people who wouldn't know him if they tripped over him - or if he jumped them. Since I've never watched the show, he would have looked like just another drunk at the game - something I presume security thought.
