From 1993, a profile of actor, musician, writer, producer and humanitarian Tom Jackson. Big man with a big heart. He’s been nominated for a Gemini Award for his role as Peter Kenidi on CBC’s North of 60, and been a previous Gemini nominee for Best Actor in The Diviners. He’s also a veteran of the folk music scene and a noted stage performer in The Ecstasy of Rita Joe and Dry Lips Oughta Move to Kapuskasing. He is truly a star in many galaxies. But Tom Jackson has never forgotten where he came from or the people who inhabit the fringes of Canadian society.
