Facts about Joshua Jackson:

Joshua Jackson was accepted into an alcohol education program after his arrest at a hockey game – he was placed in the program Wednesday after admitting he was drunk and disruptive at a Nov. 9 Carolina Hurricanes game. (April 11, 2003)

Police arrested him this weekend and charged him with drunkenly assaulting a security guard at a hockey game between the Carolina Hurricanes and the Pittsburgh Penguins. (November 12, 2002)

He was roommates with James Van Der Beek during the first season of DAWSON'S CREEK.

He has dual U.S./Canadian citizenship.

He is allergic to peanuts.

He is asthmatic.

In addition to URBAN LEGEND, also THE SKULLS and GOSSIP (both starring Joshua Jackson) were filmed at the University of Toronto.

In the scene where Rusty is teaching the celebrities to play poker in OCEAN'S ELEVEN, he can be seen playing with the skull-ring he wore in the film THE SKULLS.

Jackson (Damon Brooks) cranks his car before he takes Natalie to that spot in the woods (URBAN LEGEND (1998)); when it cranks the radio plays Paula Cole's I Don't Want to Wait from the TV show DAWSON'S CREEK (1998) also starring Jackson.

Playing a film student in Randy's class, he makes a comment about the Mighty Ducks series in their discussion which is an obvious reference because Josh played Charlie Conway in all three Mighty Ducks movies (SCREAM 2).

The Skull-and-Bones Society (on which this movie was based) actually gives out watches to each class of skulls, though not necessarily with the whole branding ceremony. After THE SKULLS (2000) was filmed, he acquired one of the actual watches and gave it to director Rob Cohen.

He won Young Hollywood Award for Superstar of Tomorrow - Male in 2000.

Joshua Jackson's plans to wed Rosario Dawson are looking far from rosy, with her admitting she's thinking twice about commitment, explaining that she’s a little commitment phobic.
