Dawson’s Creek cast: Where are they now?

Starring James Van Der Beek, Michelle Williams, Joshua Jackson, and Katie Holmes, Dawson’s Creek is a classic teen drama that premiered on The WB in 1998 and concluded in 2003. It basically provided a blueprint for all the teen dramas that we know and love.
