James Van Der Beek on HIMYM

Ok, so I never liked James Van Der Beek much in Dawson’s Creek, I prefer my men with a bit of an edge and not quite so much teenage Angst. I really like him as a guest star though: he was hilarious as Robin’s balding, fat, Canadian loser ex in HIMYM and pretty scary as a serial killer in Criminal Minds, so I think he might be good in OTH.

Ok, for everyone who missed JVDB on HIMYM, here it is:

Also, I think it’s kinda nice. OTH are filming on the old Dawson set and apparently in OTH, James will play a movie buff who might be interested in turning Lucas’ book into a movie. Full circle, or what?

Exec Producer Mark Schwahn told Entertainment Weekly “We’re about to [complete] 128 episodes, which is what Dawson’s did,” And adds  “So I thought it would be cool to get James.”

So do we, so do we!
