JACKSON GRATEFUL FOR DAWSON'S CREEK YEARS

JOSHUA JACKSON will never take his success on hit teen soap DAWSON'S CREEK for granted because it helped him put his sister through college. The actor, who played PACEY WITTER in the popular series, admits he's still recognised around the world for his part in the show, and he'll always cherish the opportunities the role gave him. He explains, "I was p**s broke when I started that show and then I got to put my sister through college, paid my mortgage; I'm 28 years old and I own a house. That's a beautiful thing and I can travel the world; those are big things. "One time I was in the Tuscany countryside (Italy) and I had 80-year-old grandmothers coming with their grandchildren to this little town and saying, 'We watch the show every week.' I was in the middle of Marrakech (Morocco) in my underwear in a steam bath and a guy said to me, 'Aren't you that guy from that show?'"
