Jonathan Jackson Wins Emmy Award for Best Supporting Actor (2012)

Excellent to see an Orthodox actor boldly professing his faith and not being overcome by pride on an occasion of personal triumph. Well done!

Actor Jonathan Jackson, who plays Lucky Spencer on the soap opera “General Hospital,” won the trophy for Best Supporting Actor at the Daytime Emmys on Saturday night.
He took the opportunity to thank God in his acceptance speech.

“First of all, I have to give glory and honor to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,” he said at the beginning of the speech, making the sign of the cross. Having thanked his family and colleagues, he added: “Thanks to all the monks on Mt. Athos who are consistently praying for the life of the world.”






See (and hear) also "From General Hospital to the Hospital of Souls: Interview with Jonathan Jackson"  Jonathan Jackson, star of General Hospital and Tuck Everlasting, talks with Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick about his journey into Orthodox Christianity, his family, how he lives his faith as a Hollywood actor, music and writing, on this special episode of Roads From Emmaus.
