The Mighty Ducks series undeniably stands among the top ’90s children’s sports films, boasting stars like Emilio Estevez, Kenan Thompson, and Joshua Jackson as a key aspect of its charm. With these established actors leading the motley crew, it’s no wonder the original movie was a massive success upon release. While Thompson and Estevez were already well-known figures, it was the role of Jackson’s fictional hockey coach that aided him in navigating the film set. Furthermore, Estevez imparted an important lesson during D2: The Mighty Ducks that has resonated with Jackson for over three decades.
As a guest on “The Kelly Clarkson Show”, the former child star delved into various topics, such as his upcoming ABC series titled “Doctor Odyssey” and the upcoming movie “Karate Kid: Legends”. These projects are slated for release in 2025 on TV and movie schedules respectively. He also fondly recalled the classic Disney+ subscription hockey film series. When questioned about the “Mighty Ducks” franchise and collaborating with Emilio Estevez, the “Dawson’s Creek” alum spoke candidly about his elder peer’s significant role in his life. Jackson also recounted a pivotal moment between them during the sequel while filming amidst a crowd.
Emilio provided me with a wealth of valuable guidance. Essentially, I picked up many aspects of working on film sets from Emilio, as I was unaware of most of this information at the time since I was still young. I was merely a child then. During the production of the second Mighty Ducks movie, we had an extended scene set at the pond, a professional ice rink. On one particular day, there were approximately 20,000 spectators who filled the arena to watch us play hockey. As I was leaving the playing area – it’s unclear whether I was being reckless or simply exhausted – for some reason, there was a crowd waiting for autographs, and I hurriedly moved past them to reach the locker room.
As a seasoned movie critic, I must say it’s refreshing to witness an established actor stepping into the role model spotlight. Navigating the labyrinth of Hollywood, especially for a child, can be a daunting task. It’s heartening to see that the actor from ‘The Breakfast Club’ took on the mantle of a guide for Jackson (and likely other young talents). Having a veteran child star acting as a mentor seems like an ideal situation for growing up under the public limelight. To top it off, having the support of one of the Brat Pack members is nothing short of fortunate luck.
As Joshua Jackson continued his tale, he shared how Estevez reacted after Jackson skated past The Mighty Ducks fans. He pointed out that it was during Estevez’s expression of displeasure over Jackson ignoring the crowd that he received a piece of advice that has stayed with him to this day:
Emilio gently steered me aside and said, ‘Never do that again, please.’ I asked, ‘What did I do?’ He explained, ‘Please never, ever do that again. You have no idea why you’re allowed to skate in front of all those people. It’s because someone is paying for it – remember who your audience is and what they mean to you.’ Essentially, he helped me understand the importance of humility and respect at a young age.
Reflecting upon the profound impact of Emilio Estevez’s words on Joshua Jackson at such a young age is truly enlightening. Three years ago, marking the 30th anniversary of “The Mighty Ducks,” it’s evident that Estevez’s guidance played a significant role in maintaining Jackson’s enduring presence in Hollywood. As an ardent fan of Pacey from Dawson’s Creek, it brings me immense joy to know that the actor behind this beloved character values his fans as deeply as we cherish him for his outstanding work.
Starting from the pivotal lesson learned in the ’90s, we’ve witnessed the remarkable success of Jackson, who benefited greatly from Estevez’s priceless guidance. Catch his latest show titled “Doctor Odyssey” on ABC or stream it the day after with a Hulu subscription. If you prefer, explore other notable Jackson productions outside of the “The Mighty Ducks” series.
