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 Several times you have said that the Admiral will be around as long as JAG is. After this weeks finale, do you still feel that he will return?
Answer I really thought that John would be around to the end. Unfortunately, he's been ready for "the end" to happen since about the sixth season. If he comes back to JAG, it will be as a guest. He declined to renew his contract stating that he felt he had done all he could with the character of AJ and it was time for him to move on with his career. Hopefully DPB will use him as a guest on NCIS or have the folks at JAG touch base with AJ from time to time. Otherwise, we have seen the last of the Admiral on JAG. :(
