Dawson’s Creek — Where Are The Stars Today?

Nothing embodies the 90s more than “Dawson’s Creek,” which aired for five years all the way up until 2003. “Dawson’s Creek” takes us back to a pre-“Gossip Girl” time when things were easier. Teens are portrayed as well-spoken, smart and thoughtful, though they had their share of drama over the years. Now that it’s streaming on Netflix, new generations can discover this entertaining show and its very famous cast. A few years back, the cast reunited for the 20-year “Dawson Creek” anniversary. We know the stories of Dawson, Joey, Pacey and Jen, but what have the other characters been up to in real life?

1. James Van Der Beek

After being the most iconic character on Dawson’s Creek, he went on to star in films like “Varsity Blues” and “The Rules of Attraction.” Since then, he’s steadily shown up in high-profile TV shows like “Ugly Betty” and “One Tree Hill.” But despite his illustrious career, Dawson remains his most remembered character — who could forget a hunk like that?

2. Katie Holmes

While the starlet was playing Joey on the show, she starred in movies like “Wonder Boys,” “The Gift,” and The Kennedys.” Most recently, she starred in the 2019 movie “Coda.” Today, she’s still acting and also trying her hand at directing. Unfortunately, not all the press surrounding her was good, as the tabloids gossiped about her relationship up and downs with Tom Cruise.

3. Joshua Jacksont

Playing the role of Pacey Witter, Jackson loved being on the show because they weren’t typecast as idiots or precocious trouble-makers. Jackson was actually famous before his “Dawson’s Creek” role with the “Mighty Ducks” franchise. In 2016, he experienced a very public divorce with fellow actor Diane Kruger, but three years later married British model Jodie Turner-Smith.
