Del.icio.usKatie Holmes
Born and raised in Toledo, Ohio, Holmes began acting in high school theater productions but didn't believe she had a chance at a professional acting career living in the Midwest. Fate intervened, and while attending a national modeling and talent convention in New York City, she met a manager who encouraged her to come to Los Angeles for television's pilot season. Holmes landed the part of Joey on the hit WB series Dawson's Creek, costarring with James Van Der Beek, Joshua Jackson and Michelle Williams. The show aired for six seasons. She stars in the highly anticipated Batman Begins (2005), directed by Christopher Nolan, in which she stars opposite Christian Bale, Michael Caine and Liam Neeson.
Past film credits include Pieces of April, The Singing Detective, Phone Booth, Abandon, The Gift, Wonder Boys, The Ice Storm, Go, Teaching Mrs. Tingle, and Disturbing Behavior.
