February 12Feb 12 Dawson’s Creek might have been my first true childhood series (I watched 90210 with my parents when I was like 6-7 years old, but my mom was barely 21 at that time so parenting wasn’t really the main focus ). Super excited to go see variety blues in theaters (I remember my mom and her bff’s kids that I went with) and enjoyed the jay and silent bob callback in that film. Probably didn’t follow his work much the past 20 years but one of the actors I’m glad I got to grow up with.
