First Launched: The month of the month of january 10, 2012 2:20 PM EST Credit: ABC La, Calif. -- Caption James Van Der Beek encourages Dont Trust The B In Apartment 23 within the Television Experts Association Winter Session 2012, Pasadena, The month of the month of january 10, 2012James Van Der Beek is playing a publish-Dawsons Creek James Van Der Beek in Fundamental steps Dont Trust the B----- In Apartment 23, which premieres April 11 on ABC. I desired to audition against six other James Van Der Beeks with this particular role. I used to be lucky that four of those were not stars and a pair of of those did not speak British, the actor jeered while he needed part in the panel to market his new show within the Television Experts Association Winter 2012 Session in Pasadena, Calif. on Tuesday. Inside the half-hour comedy, which stars Krysten Ritter (Gilmore Women, Veronica Mars) since the B (yes, its short for the word), James plays a imaginary version of themselves, who's single and no less than inside the pilot very happy to use his Dawson fame to obtain the ladies. This character is just kind of crazy, he mentioned in the imaginary James. Hes really sweet, but hes narcissistic. Hes got lots of blind spots, it's been really fun to kind of exploit people blind spots and go to date as we are in a position to to the land of absurd, but merely maintain it grounded in some manner. Inside the pilot, you'll find numerous references to James past work (remember his scene with Ali Larter attending college Blues?), nevertheless the real existence actor told the shows producers he was ready to enjoy his past. I mentioned to Natch (Executive Producer Nahnatchka Khan) and David (Hemington, E.P.) in the beginning, Do not be frightened of problem me, opt for what's funniest, he mentioned. When asked for through the panel how extended it needed following a finish of Dawsons Creek being comfortable making fun of his past work, James displayed the identical spontaneity hes displayed recently within the online Funny Or Die clips. In my opinion once the residual money went (laughs), it increased being OK to poker fun in internet marketing, he smiled. Fortunately theyve saved me around extended enough to experience a second coming which is a lot more fun to not take myself so seriously Its fun to own a lot of laughs The particular reason to accomplish this it absolutely was undoubtedly was easily easily the funniest script Id read. The initial episode features a fun reference to the Dawsons penchant for flannels, but James recognized he never pocketed one of the famous clothing items from his youth. I believed my mother might have saved one oddly enough, he mentioned, mentioning he referred to as her up recently to evaluate. She was lacking any flannels. In my opinion theyve all gone the obvious method of Salvation Military at this time around. Although James has the capacity to play a parody version of themselves on tv, using his real title has brought for an apology to his child. Every every occasionally I return where you can my daughter and say, Sorry [for] what Im doing for the family title, kiddo, he mentioned.
