Thanks to Vittoria and Alan for this More "First Daughter" casting news! It looks like the actress who will play Samantha's (Katie) roommate in the film is R & B singer Amerie Rodgers (character name is Mia Von Getz) It looks like this will be her acting debut (save for music videos). Some pics: Alan on his meeting Amerie on the "First Daughter" set: She arrived relatively early on the set they were going to shoot at and sat down in the chair marked "Mia". When she got up to head towards the craft services snack table I said "Hi Mia" and she gave me a huge smile and came over and introduced herself to me. I shook her hand and told her it looked like a lot of fun filming this movie and she said it was, she was having a ball. I would say she is about 5'4" tall, very thin and very pretty. I hope she and Katie have good chemistry together onscreen. Oh yeah, she said she likes to go by her first name only too. Gregs Preview: First Daughter Congratulations to James Van Der Beek and Heather McComb on their wedding this past Saturday. *Edited to say Katie wasn't there :( The following is from the ET website: VAN DER BEEK WEDS July 7, 2003 | Former "Dawson's Creek" star JAMES VAN DER BEEK tied the knot Saturday with his longtime girlfriend, actress HEATHER McCOMB. The two said "I do" in a private evening ceremony on the beach in Malibu, CA. Before exchanging vows, James was spotted arriving to the spot wearing a tuxedo and carrying champagne. Later, fireworks could be seen over the coast. The 26-year-old actor confirmed in Feb. 2002 that he popped the question to Heather; coincidentally at the same time his "Creek" co-star KERR SMITH announced his betrothal. James and Heather met after her sister JENNIFER, also an actress, guest-starred on an episode of "Dawson." ------------------ Thanks to Josh&DonnaLove for the following link which mentions which DC cast members showed: James Van Der Beek Hitched -E!
