KERR SMITH

Kerr Smith - he's perfect! Dolly Magazine (Australia) June 2000 Issue #356

Sigh! It's such hard work here at Dolly. Watching movies, listening to music, and answering calls from hot - and famous - boys!

Hello Dolly? It's Kerr here. Wanna chat?

What's going on in Dawson's Creek land?
Well, Jack's old girlfriend comes back into town, and she doesn't know anything about what's happened in the last year. And then two people on the show start to get together - you can probably guess who. And then there's the thing between Jen and Henry.

Do you and all your friends watch the show together?
I think they did in the first season, but not any more.

It's being released here on video now, so do you watch the show or tape it for later?
We actually get tapes of the episodes because they air.

And now you're a big-time movie star in the new spooky flick Final Destination.
I'm trying to be! It's a two-hour roller-coaster ride, but it's a good movie, and it was fun to do.

Have you been on any airplanes since filming?
Yeah, about 50 times. (laughs)

Are you more like Carter Hogan, your character in the movie, or like Jack McPhee on Dawson's?
Neither! I'm somewhere in between I guess. My character in the movie is a bully. And that's why I took the role, because he's the antithesis of Jack.

Brendan Fehr from Roswell is in it too - did you compete over whose show is better?
He only has a part in the beginning of the film - he only made the first 20 minutes. But no, because when we shot this film, Roswell wasn't even on the air yet. I watched it last night, and I know a few of the cast - I know, Julie Benz, Jason Behr. Everyone who guest stars on Dawson's ends up getting their own show - Jason has Roswell, Eddie Millis in Wasteland, Scott Foley's in Felicity - and Rachel Leigh Cook, look at her!

Have you got any another movies coming out?
I have one done, called Hit and Runway, and two movies lined up back to back for our next hiatus, that I'm going to start shooting soon.
