Completely unrelated but this dude seems pretty solid. Loved his role on 'Bitch in Apartment 23'. Literally plays as himself. Shame the show got cancelled all the characters in that show are amazing. Highly recommend if you haven't seen it.

He was also pretty good in What Would Diplo Do? as a clueless world famous DJ.

WWDD was such a a fun little gem to find.

A fictionalized version of himself. I certainly enjoyed his character (and the show as a whole), but from what I have read about him, his personality seems quite different.

I refuse to show my kid Dawson's Creek too, but only because it's boring and he prefers cartoons

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Afraid they're going to like Pacey more than Dawson.

I don't think my kids need to watch their dad pretend to go through puberty.

Umm.. Why?

Don't you want to have that talk with them?

Yeah that's a great talk to have with your kids, "You see Timmy, sometimes as a twenty something that has been determined to be sexually attractive to prepubescent children and pedophiles you might be asked to pretend to go through puberty a second time so a lot of rich people can make money off of your sex appeal, again to kids and pedophiles."
