January, 1998. The days were short, the nights were long, and TV fans were settling in for a long, cold winter. Little did we know that the fledgling WB Network was about to set our screens ablaze with a soapy teen series about a tight-knit group of friends struggling with life and love and all sorts of other issues in the small town of Capeside, Massachusetts. Conceived and produced by Scream mastermind Kevin Williamson, Dawson's Creek took a refreshingly candid approach to teen drama with its blend of crackling dialogue, poignant, timely plot lines, and frank, honest talk about sex. While that approach earned the ire of parents and watchdog groups before the series even premiered, the show's "of the time" aesthetic made it an instant hit with its key demographic: teenagers.

They've all seen their share of professional ebbs and flows since their Creek days ended — particularly Jackson, who's been all but absent from both big and small screens of late. That doesn't mean the onetime captain of the "True Love" hasn't been busy since the show that made him a star went off the air, so let's have a look at what he's been up to over the years.
