JACK IN THE BOX TV Hits Magazine (Australia) May 2000 #141

TV HITS CORNERED CREEK CUTIE KERR SMITH AND QUESTIONED HIM ABOUT BEING A GEEK AT SCHOOL, PLAYING GOLF, AND OF COURSE, KISSING KATIE!

Are you anything like Jack?
There's one similarity between Jack and I and it's the loner side. He's mysterious and goes off and does his own thing. There's definitely a side of me that likes to go to movies by myself, and you know, take a walk by myself.

What's it like to kiss Katie Holmes?
Katie and I are such good friends, it's like kissing my sister! I'm not gonna say it's bad, it's fun. Sometimes I sit back and think, "I can't believe I get paid to do this job!"

What's your favourite line Jack has said so far?
The funniest time was in an episode at the art museum, and I say, "Joey, you ain't seen nothin' yet!"

If you wrote Dawson's Creek, where would you take Jack?
To the top! I'd call it Jack's Creek! Just kidding. I don't think I'd be able to write this show, to be honest with you. Half the words I'm saying I have to look up!

Were you cool at school, or a dork?
Up until eighth grade I had a bowl haircut, braces and was thin as a rail. I didn't really talk to anyone. Then in high school I played baseball, lacrosse and I love skiing. I was president of my class for two years. So I kind of came out of my shell.

What is your typical day like?
Get up 5.30am, take my dog out, feed the dog, take a shower, go to work, work 12 hours, come home. Between the dog, working and my girlfriend, that's my life.

What do you do to relax?
To relax I go to the gym and just took up golf. Other than that, I go to see a lot of movies.

Are you good at golf?
Horrible! So bad I can't even begin to explain to you how bad. I'm ashamed to even tell you what I shoot!
