Joshua Jackson recalls the audition process for Dawson’s Creek, likening it to The Hunger Games.

The Doctor Odyssey star was ultimately cast as Pacey Witter, Dawson’s wisecracking best friend, but Jackson said he also auditioned for the titled character in The WB drama.

“I think I had like nine auditions for — I think first for Pacey, then for Dawson, then back to Pacey,” Jackson said on the Dinner’s on Me podcast. “And then when I made it to the final, final, final thing, they take you to the Warner Bros. ranch.”

He continued, “In that room are 35 potential kids who are now, like, put into this Hunger Games moment. And you spend literally the entire day getting called in groups, right, like, ‘Okay, you two. You four.’ Getting taken back to the room, you audition, and then you come out, and…four people are just gone. And then two people are gone.”

Watch on Deadline

Jackson went on to star in Dawson’s Creek for the show’s six seasons alongside James Van Der Beek, Katie Holmes, and Michelle Williams.

“The final cut down, I used the washroom, and I hear the gong go off,” he recalled. “I come out of the toilet and now every executive from the WB has come from every office everywhere and is just standing there, staring at me and James and Katie and Michelle, as we’re like, ‘Oh, this is where they eat us, I guess. This is where they put us in the pot.’ And they’re like, ‘Congratulations, you just got the job!’ I don’t even think I knew which role it was that I finally auditioned for.”

Dawson’s Creek premiered in 1998 on The WB and aired its final episode on May 14, 2003.
