Joshua Jackson on his Broadway debut in Children of a Lesser God

It's been 20 years since Dawson's Creek took over TV screens everywhere, launching the careers of actors like Katie Holmes, Michelle Williams and Vancouver's own Joshua Jackson. Since wrapping up Dawson's Creek in 2003, Jackson has made the leap from teen heartthrob to bona fide star. He's worked on films like One Week and TV shows like Fringe and The Affair. Now he's taking an even bigger leap and making his Broadway debut in Children of a Lesser God — the award-winning play, which in 1986, was adapted into a film that earned Marlee Matlin an Oscar for best actress. The story follows a romance that unfolds between Sarah, a deaf woman, and James, a teacher at a residential deaf school.

Fresh off his opening night, Jackson spoke to host Tom Power from a studio in New York about the highly anticipated revival.
