Twenty years following the end of the series Dawson, Joshua Jackson, who played Pacey Witter, returned to the impostor syndrome he experienced when he received his first payslips. For him, his salary was far too high for what he was doing.
At 19, he was rolling in gold. I have to say that Joshua Jackson was part of the cast most famous series of the 1990s and 2000s, that of Dawson. In this series for teenagers, available on MyTF1Max, he played the role of Pacey Witter and gave the reply to James Van Der Beek, the famous Dawson. For this, Joshua Jackson received fabulous salaries. Payrolls so high he was almost ashamed. In an interview given to Times lately, the actor starred in the remake of the erotic thriller Fatal Liaison (from May 1 on Paramount+), returned to the impostor syndrome created by his salary at the time of Dawson. “I wouldn’t want to relive my twenties, I was too anxious. I was making more money in four episodes of Dawson’s than my friends’ parents made in an entire year.”
Joshua Jackson’s salary kept secret
“It was central to my impostor syndrome, I was like, ‘You’re trying to make me a role model for young people which I’m not. You pay me more than I deserve”, he recalls. Joshua Jackson, however, does not reveal the amount of his salary, but we can very well imagine how well the cast of one of the most watched series in the United States – and in the rest of the world – might be off. And this for six seasons.

The stars of Dawsona tight-knit cast
Of course, the interpreter of Pacey Witter does not only keep this bad memory of the filming of Dawson. It was this role that made his career take off, even if he had already had a small success in the Disney trilogy The Little Championsfrom 1992. In the same interview, he even explains that he is still in contact with the original actors and actresses of the series. “It’s obviously such a formative point in our lives,” he believes. “The secret of this series is that it didn’t speak to young people as if they were stupid. These characters and what they were going through felt real. We were trying to tell stories around life moments and we were so close to the age of our characters that we remembered perfectly this deep feeling of adolescent angst. Adolescence also comes with love affairs. Joshua Jackson was once in a relationship with his co-star Katie Holmes. After several other love affairs in the world of show business, he finally married in 2019 with British actress Jodie Turner-Smith, known for the main role in the film Queen & Slim.
