Hey, Texas: The 90s are calling and want their heartthrob back.
For nearly six years, actor turned Hollywood star James Van Der Beek delighted audiences as Dawson Leery in The WB's smash hit series, Dawson's Creek. Van Der Beek starred in the titular role, with the series exploring Dawson and his group of friends' lives in the fictional town of Capeside, Massachusetts.
But the former teen drama star is a long way from home, hanging up his time in both the imaginary Massachusetts town as well as in Hollywood. Back in fall 2020, Van Der Beek and his family traded in their Beverly Hills home for life in the Lone Star State. Here's a look back at what he's been up to during his five years in Texas.
