ABC show’s leading ladies talk to MTV News about how the actor hilariously sends up his ‘Dawson’s Creek’ alter ego. By Jocelyn Vena Krysten Ritter Photo: MTV News NEW YORK — On Wednesday night (April 11), ABC welcomes the buzzy, dark comedy ” Don’t Trust the B—- in Apt 23 ” to their primetime schedule. MTV News hit the show’s red-carpet premiere on Tuesday and got the scoop from two of the show’s leading ladies: Dreama Walker, who plays sweet June, and Krysten Ritter, who plays bad girl Chloe. The actresses opened up about working with co-star James Van Der Beek, explaining what it’s like to watch him mock his nice-guy “Dawson’s Creek” image. They also joked about what it’s like to make a sex tape with him … for the show, of course. “[Van Der Beek plays a] self-centered, narcissistic version of himself,” Walker explained. “He’s so down-to-earth and very sweet and has a great sense of humor; very smart, well-spoken, just a cool dude, too polite,” she added of the real-life Van Der Beek. “Apt 23” follows two women, con artist Chloe and girl-next-door June, who become roommates after June finds herself suffering several misfortunes in the Big Apple. The rooomies’ relationship takes some hilarious turns as (the somewhat psychotic) Chloe makes every attempt to break June’s optimistic spirit. Of course, it also stars TV’s Dawson Leery, now all grown-up and playing an exaggerated version of himself
