Little Joey Potter, and it's most definnetly because of her talented life to that character I'll rate her that high. Mr. Cruise ruined what could have been a great career, but that's just the way it goes sometime.

She gave life to Joey in a way many young actors and actresses can't do, and always kept that strange smile charming everybody. Both with bodylanguage, speak and eyes expressed the emotions required and was one of the main reasons Dawson's Creek managed to touch the way it did.

Now we can only think about what could have been, and she sure could have been a big star...

Over her years on Dawson's Creek I thought that Katie Holmes was just the cutest little in her role as Joey Potter, I can't say I feel exactly the same way as of now but things are very different with her these days. I won't say she was a beacon of great acting skills but I thought she played the character to the point, it felt very believeable at every turn which sometimes young actors fail at accomplishing. And I always felt she connected well with the camera and her cast mates, like quite a few of the other cast members on Dawson's Creek.

This hotty from Dawson's Creek has went way down hill since getting with Tom Cruise. Tom could be her father and frankly that destroys the hotty factor. She had potential and now is just Tom's Scientologist-Sidekick.

I am actually suprised she was allowed to work on her newest film, and she gets way too much press time. As an actress she has only had one long term role and she did it well, but no better than hundreds of other actresses.

This is only one person's opinion, but we really need to stop giving credit where credit is obviously not due.

Katie born on 18 Dec 1978 to Kathleen and Martin Holmes. She is the youngest of 5 children. she has 3 older sister's and 1 older brother named also Martin.
She auditioned for Buffy Summers from Buffy the vampire Slayer was too young so got the part of Joey from Dawson's Creek. She has grown as an actress and wanted to make a name for herself in movies so every chance she got made films that wee ok. Katie is married to Tom Cruise and has a daughter Suri. She is currently finished a film called Mad Money with Queen Latifah a comedy. This is the first time we get to see Katie in a comedy.
Her future is looking quite good. She has the luxury to make any films she pleases and has Tom Cruise to guide her.
With time Katie will blossom as a really good actress.
