Fun facts

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.
Anna Torv as Olivia Dunham in J.J. Abram’s Fringe
Written by: PeteBorn in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
She graduated from Australia’s National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) with a degree in Performing Arts (Acting) in 2001.
Has done Motion Capture for PlayStation 3 game Heavenly Sword at WETA Digital in Wellington, New Zealand. Plays ‘Nariko’ in the game. (March 2007)
J.J. Abram’s knew he wanted her for the part from the moment he saw an audition tape from her agent. (The tape was her trying out from something else and not a Olivia on Fringe.)
TV’s dying for another kick-ass female action star, and Torv might just fill the void as Olivia Dunham, an FBI agent investigating a string of strange phenomena. Plus she’s got J.J. Abrams on her side. In the name of Jennifer Garner and Evangeline Lilly, how can she not break out?
