Though Katie Holmes got a callback after auditioning for the part of Joey on "Dawson's Creek," she declined to attend because it conflicted with another play in which she had been cast to play a leading role. The play? Her high school's production of Damn Yankees!
[Fortunately for Holmes, the callback was later rescheduled and the producers, impressed with her character as well as her ability, gave her the part.]
