If you don't love James Van Der Beek, shame on you. SHAME ON YOU.
Even though I pretty much despised him back when Dawson's Creek aired for no good reason other than I hated his whiny character, I can appreciate The Beek now. He's good people.
The 35-year-old actor plays an exaggerated version of himself on the upcoming ABC sitcom, Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 (which is hilarious, by the way) and just did a pretty awesome interview with Entertainment Weekly where he talks about his Dawson's Creek days.
When asked how he reacted to Michelle Williams' Oscar nod, he said, "Yeah. It makes me feel really happy. ABC asked me to do a pre-Oscar interview and I was talking about Michelle and I started thinking about the [Dawson's Creek] pilot and everything Michelle has been through and the reaction to her when the show first came out — because she was set up as the character you hate. I just started feeling so warm and fuzzy inside. It was like I had three glasses of wine. Just really, really happy for her."
Aw. And then when it came to the inevitable Katie Holmes question, James said, "She seems a little more mature, to be honest with you. I think people transpose whatever preconceptions they have about the whole thing onto whatever behavior they see. Honestly, I don’t see a big shift or difference. It’s her, but a little more mature and I think comfortable in her skin."
So will we see a reunion!?! "I mean, if somebody came up with a brilliant idea how to do it, why not?" he said. "I always love that Michelle is like, 'I definitely wanna do it! I’m in!' which is so easy for her to say because her character is dead. I always smile when I see that. [Laughs].
Gotta love The Beek.
