Katie Holmes played Joey, Dawson's best friend and Pacey's love interest.
"Dawson's Creek" was Holmes' first TV gig and only her second professional role ever. She continued to act, but none of her movies were huge blockbusters until "Batman Begins." She wouldn't return as her character for the following Christopher Nolan "Batman" movies.
Holmes continued acting until a brief hiatus in 2006 following the birth of her daughter Suri, with now ex-husband Tom Cruise.
She has since returned to acting. Her most recent roles include "Logan Lucky" and the miniseries "The Kennedys: After Camelot."
