I’ve only actually ever seen “Dawson’s Creek” once, when I was dating a girl in high school who religiously watched it, but I still continue to make fun of it until this day. Similarly, James Van Der Beek continues to ride the one thing he’s ever done that people care about to this day. In fact, he is recycling his old Dawson’s character on a new pilot.

Work has him reliving his Creek days—sorta. He costars in the pilot for Don’t Trust the B***h in Apartment 23 as an actor named James Van Der Beek. “He’s an actor in the city who used the fact that he was on Dawson’s Creek to get laid,” he said.

So, did he ever use the tactic in real life?

“Never,” he said, smiling. “Never!”

But then he added with a laugh, “Maybe.”

Uh dude – definitely! You’re hot wife wouldn’t be with you if you hadn’t been on that show. Trust me.
