comments: Some say Michael Pitt bears an uncanny resemblence to a young Leonardo DiCaprio. We happen to think he's much better looking than that. You can catch Michael on "Dawson's Creek" where he seems poised to shatter some relationships. Michael's previous work is nothing to mention, really, so we hope he gets more than noticed doing this "Dawson's" gig. He's cute, he can act, what more do you want? Oh yeah, more Michael!

Michael on Josh Jackson: "I lent him my Operation Ivy CD and I haven't gotten it back yet. Print that so he'll give it back to me! Josh is really cool, though. He is really, really cool. And he gave me shoes. I lost my shoes in the hurricane, and he gave me new shoes."
Michael on Katie Holmes: "Katie's cool. She makes good waffles."

Quote of the Month:

"Actually, once I was walking down Madison Avenue with Brittany when she was in New York, and everyone was recognizing her. All these kid were like, 'It's the girl from Dawson's Creek!' and I'm sitting there-waiting. And they're like, 'You are dating Leonardo DiCaprio?!' I'm like, 'Guys, come on. Look at me. Who am I?' they're like, 'Oh, you are the football player.'"
