Best known as "Dawson's Creek's" fast-talking, self-deprecating Pacey Witter, Joshua Jackson stars in Rose Troche's upcoming indie drama "The Safety of Objects" (release date: TBA, 2002), which made its debut at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2001.

As Paul Gold, a suburban son whose coma galvanizes those around him, Joshua is part of an all-star cast, which includes Glenn Close, playing his mother, Dermot Mulroney, Timothy Olyphant, Robert Klein and Patricia Clarkson.

He recently starred in the HBO Films version of Moises Kaufman's acclaimed play "The Laramie Project," appearing alongside Laura Linney, Peter Fonda, Christina Ricci, Steve Buscemi, Janeane Garofalo, Camryn Manheim and Amy Madigan.
