Tom Jackson

Jackson completed shooting Season 3 of the highly acclaimed CTV series Cardinal, opposite Billy Campbell and Karine Vanasse. Previously he played one of the leads opposite Louis Gossett Jr. in Sidney Furie's feature The Dependables, Lionsgate's action feature SKINWALKERS and John Henderson's Mee-Shee: The Water Giant. Jackson is best known to Canadian audiences for 6 seasons as 'Chief Peter Kenidi' in CBC's inspired view into the lives of a First Nation community, North of 60, for which he still receives fan accolades, his guest star turn on Star Trek: The Next Generation, Law & Order: Criminal Intent and "Billy Twofeathers" in the PBS series Shining Time Station. Upcoming is Season 2 of APTN's Red Earth Uncovered. Whether one links Jackson to 'The Huron Carole' -- the song or the national concert tour -- 'Singing for Supper' or 'Swinging for Supper', the evidence of his earning and staying power in the fundraising circle is without question and one of infamy for this country's food banks. When there's trouble or trauma, he steps up with ideas to alleviate and compensate those devastated by floods, typhoons, fires, drought, terrorism, youth suicide, homelessness, environmental disaster and economic disadvantage, earning him some of Canada's highest honors. Among Jackson's many awards are the Officer of the Order of Canada, the Governor General's Performing Arts Award for Lifetime Artistic Achievement, Canadian Red Cross Ambassador, two Queen's Jubilee Medals 2002 & 2012 and an Honorary Degree recipient at 10 universities.
