Joshua Jackson on playing the villain on Dr. Death: "He's his own hero"

From The Mighty Ducks to Dawson's Creek, Joshua Jackson has made an imprint on an entire generation. Now, the Canadian actor is venturing into a new kind of role - the villain. He plays the titular doctor on the crime drama miniseries Dr. Death, based on the true story of Christopher Duntsch, a former neurosurgeon whose botched operations left dozens of his patients sick, paralyzed or even dead. Jackson joined Tom Power to tell us how he prepared for the role and what he thinks the show says about the American healthcare crisis. Dr. Death is out now on Showcase in Canada and on NBC's streaming service Peacock in the United States.

Great interview! As a fan, I'm always looking for opportunities to listen to Josh talking about his work. He's an extraordinary actor and amazing human being

I just love how articulate and insightful this man is and has always been. I grew up watching him from his Mighty Ducks and D' Creek days and all his interviews he was so well spoken and intelligent without being stuck up. Love him so much

I love Josh interviews on q! As always his intelligence shines and he's super articulate, but also the interviewer is pretty great. Looking forward to that 'next time'!
