Jonathan Jackson, 18 Actor, General Hospital and Deep End of the Ocean "I'm disappointed with the type of leader {Clinton has} been. He hasn't been a great example for young people today, and after eight years, something needs to change. I don't think Gore is going to be any help. I support Bush. I've had the opportunity to meet him a couple of times, and I think he's a genuine man of character."

This one in Teen Hair Style, found by Becca. On the first page is a pic from the YoungStar Awards annoucement in the black shirt accompanied by "Jonathan is a hottie and he's on page 66!"

10.13.00- A glowing blurb found on Jonathan's performance in The Deep End of the Ocean:

Thankfully, the filmmakers provided us with Jonathan Jackson, who literally steals every scene he is in. Many know him from his award-winning role on General Hospital (I've never seen the show myself), but this film could make him a star. He could be on his way to becoming one of the best actors of his generation.

Jackson Brothers Wow Film Festival
Soap Opera In Depth Magazine
Oct. 17, 2000

Jonathan Jackson tells Soaps In Depth how he and his brother, Richard, felt winning a mantleful of awards at this year's Brooklyn Film Festival!

Although Crystal Clear - the film written, directed and scored by the multi-talented Jacksons - was a "short", it wound up being long on merit. Not only was it named Best Dramatic Short Film, it also earned its makers the Coen Brothers Award for Duo Film-making (named for Joel and Ethan Coen, the sibling superstars behind Fargo), and netted Best Actor honors for star William Rotunno. True Rights, a separate entry starring the Jacksons, won Best Feature.

Reflecting on his and Richard's riches, Jonathan admits "In one sense, [we] were basically in shock, and in another sense, we weren't. Talking about it beforehand, we said, 'As crazy as it is, odds don't really matter to God.' Anything can happen." The GH alumnus sees Crystal Clear's impressive showing as an Ebert-like "thumbs up" from high above. "I felt it was a message from God saying, 'I'm excited about you guys being filmmakers. This is something I want you to do.'"

So, what's next for the dynamic duo? "We're writing a few scripts," reports Jonathan, who hopes to "get some projects in line that we're passionate about."
