Joshua Jackson as Charlie Conway
Joshua Jackson portrayed Charlie Conway, the brave Ducks captain, in all three films of the franchise. As Conway grew older and became an adult, he had a strong mentor and mentee connection with Gordon Bombay (played by Emilio Estevez), and the pair became two of the series’ major heartthrobs.

It’s one of the reasons the films continue to appeal to audiences of all ages because they can discover a character dynamic they can identify with. It might be an older adult who wants to help children or a young person who is eager to learn from a mentor, even if just to avoid the mentor’s faults.
