    It's been 14 years since the show ended.

    Fun fact: Josh originally auditioned for both Pacey and Dawson.

    Michelle Williams (Jen Lindley)

    Busy Philipps (Audrey Liddell)

    Fun fact: Busy says if there were ever a reunion/reboot, she wouldn't take part because she was "barely on the show".

    Mary Beth Peil (Grams)

    John Wesley Shipp (Mitch Leery)

    Fun fact: CMM says he learned a lot from the main cast, who showed him the ropes because he was such a newbie.
