AboutNancy Pratt Expertise My main area of expertise is the character of Admiral A. J. Chegwidden portrayed by actor John M. Jackson. I created and maintain "The Admiral Fact Book," which covers all information known about the Admiral so far from the show. However, I have watched JAG since the first episode and been involved in on-line JAG Fandom for several years and believe I can answer most general questions about the show.
Experience I run the John M. Jackson Admiration Society, the unofficial fan club of actor John M. Jackson, and maintain its website. I also was involved in putting on the first ever JAG Convention and then went on to found the JAGFanFest - both west and east coast events. I have met almost all the actors as well as many of the writers, directors, and production staff. I occasionally write JAG fanfic, and I am the editor of The Jackson Journal, the on-line newsletter of the JMJAS.

Question I am a great fan of the JAG series and was especially fond
of Admiral Chegwiddon, John M. Jackson. Please tell me what he has done since the series ended. Thank you.
Answer Hi Irene,
John has been keeping himself busy since the series ended. He has done a movie (The Invasion), although I am not sure at this point whether his part ended up on the cutting room floor. He filmed the part of the President, but I had heard that when the movie did not preview well with audiences, they re-worked it quite a bit, and he was not in the final version. But I haven't had a chance to see it yet myself, so I don't know for sure. He also filmed a short as part of a college film student competition. The short film won several awards. It's called Homefront.
John has done a couple of stage plays in the past couple of years. And he has had guest parts on several shows, including John from Cinncinnati (I think that was the name of the show), Ghost Whisperer, that show about FBI negotiators (can't remember the name of it for the life of me) and most recently Without a Trace. He has also spent quite a bit of time watching his son Conor play professional baseball for the Arizona Diamondbacks. For a list of his most recent credits, check out www.imdb.com.
