About The Cast


James Van Der Beek

James Van Der Beek was born on March 7, 1977 and raised in Cheshire, Connecticut. He made his professional debut in the Off-Broadway play, Finding The Sun at the age of 16. Shenendoah at the Godspeed Opera House followed and he made his feature film debut in Angus in 1995.

James is the oldest of three children whose father is a cellular phone salesmen and whose mother runs a gymnastics studio.

In 1998, James was chosen by "People Magazine" as one of the "50 Most Beautiful People In The World".

He began acting when, in the 8th grade, he suffered a concussion due to a football injury and was not permitted to play on the team that year. This caused him to want to find something new to occupy his time and he tried out for and got the role of "Danny Zuko" in his school's production of Grease.

He was diagnosed as dyselxic in kindergarten, but took special classes that helped him overcome this disability and become a Dean's List student at Drew University in Madison, N.J. where he majors in English with a minor in sociology.

Katie Holmes

Katie Holmes was born on December 18, 1978 and raised in Toledo, Ohio. She is the youngest of five children whose father is a lawyer and whose mother is a homemaker. She acted in many of her high school's theatre productions before going to New York City for a national modeling and talent convention where she met a talent manager who encouraged her to go to LA for TV's pilot season.

On her first professional audition, she dazzled the casting director of the movie, The Ice Storm and got the job as the love interest of Toby Maguire in the film that starred Siguorney Weaver, Kevin Kline, Elijah Wood, and Joan Allen.

She sent in a tape of her audition for "Dawson's Creek" instead of going to LA to do it in person since she wanted to perform in her school's production of Damn Yankees. When her call-back for the show conflicted with the opening night of the play, she declined. The producers of the show rescheduled her call-back so she could come out at a later date and she won the role as Joey Potter.
