The five leading cast members, all relative newcomers just four years ago, are now internationally know celebrities who continue to appear in the feature film world. Katie Holmes, 21, starred in a number of films including: "The Gift," "The Wonder Boys," "The Ice Storm," "GO," and "Teaching Mrs. Tingle," the directorial debut of DAWSON'S CREEK creator Kevin Williamson. James van der Beek, 23, starred as Mox in the highly successful "Varsity Blues." Joshua Jackson, who gained early notoriety in the "Mighty Ducks" trilogy, has released two films in 2000, "The Skulls" and "Gossip." After a groundbreaking performance in the HBO production "If These Walls Could Talk 2", Michelle Williams moved on to the screen adaptation of "Prozac Nation," for release later this year. Kerr Smith, who joined the cast in the second season, has also had success in the film world. Smith was seen in this year's thriller "Final Destination."
Some new blood is being injected into Dawson's Creek this season. Busy Philipps (Freaks and Geeks) has been cast as Audrey, Joey's (Katie Holmes) new college roommate, and Ken Marino (First Years) will play one of her professors. Meanwhile, look for Chad Michael Murray (Tristan, Gilmore Girls) to get cozy with Michelle Williams's Jen, and Pacey (Joshua Jackson) will have Lourdes Benedicto (ER; Samanta, Titans) to keep him company.
