That’s our reaction every time we see a photo of James Van Der Beek. Then we wonder what he’s up to these days. Do you?
Well wonder no more. James is coming back to television. And we’re not talking about his guest roles on Ugly Betty and How I Met Your Mother, or his upcoming spot on One Tree Hill.
Dawson’s got himself a full time gig . . .
James Van Der Beek will be starring in Fox’s pilot Eva Adams. The Hollywood Reporter says:
The hourlong project, from writer/executive producer Kevin Falls and Sony TV, is set at a sports agency and centers on Adam, an egotistic sexist agent who, under a witch's spell, turns into a beautiful woman so he can endure the harassment he's been dishing out.
Van Der Beek will play Connor, a former frat boy who is a good friend of Adam's and an agent at the firm. Denman will play another agent, Paul, a single dad reeling from a devastating divorce.
If you just can’t wait for Eva Adams, you can get your Van Der Beek fix when he appears on One Tree Hill this season. Or rent Varsity Blues, and watch Dawson do Texas while you surreptitiously stare at Paul Walker, wondering how you could get him to play your field. No? Just us?
