After her breakout role as girl-next-door Joey Potter on “Dawson’s Creek,” Katie Holmes has gone on to play many other parts, including writer, producer, director and mom.
Still, her teen-drama roots remain close to her heart.
When she was starring in the off-Broadway production “The Wanderers” earlier this year, Dawson’s parents were in the audience.
“Mary-Margaret Humes, who played Dawson’s mom, flew out with John Wesley Shipp, who played his dad, and they came to the play—which was so sweet and supportive,” she said.
(Dawson was famously played by James Van Der Beek.)
