I don't find Katie Holmes to be a particularly outstanding actress. Her biggest breaks were Dawson's Creek and being Mr

Katie is a very underestimated actress, shes done good work, and she will once again get roles that suit her.
Anything a little com5b4plicated suits her very much, this sounds better than Responsible Adults, shes not a comedic actress.
She got the breakout award for Disturbing Behaviourshe played a bit of a bad girl who came good.
Played well in Ice Storm compicated again .
Abandon , where she killed a few people, was written especially for her. Katie was fantastic in the scene where she goes for a job interview, and the close up was gorgeous.
.so was the teen movie Teaching Mrs Tingle. Kevin Williamson creator of DC wrote it especially for her.
Regardles of the fact that hes gay, there are some lovely pics of them together, and you can see they cared for each other, glad hes back in her life.
Pieces of April is a little gem of a movie, DC only gave her 10 days off(she was in every scene for nearly 6 yrs), and only had a budget of$300,000.
Even tho she was only in Wonder Boys for 10 mins she got a good write up as the obsessed student to Micheal Douglasshe had the hots for him in the movie.
Nobody ever said anything bad about her, never wrote anything bad about her, she only used to get compliments, and was liked by everyone.
Shell get back on track again, and I think people still believe in her, more offers will come her way again.
Now that Suri is in school , you can see shes trying to keep it all New York. Might be a bit hard for her in that respect.
I have a lot of time for Katie, shes made some unwise de2000cisions, but I honestly believe shell come good !
She is filming Mania days.
You people contradict yourselves so badly, Spike Lee must have thought shes ok to put her in his movie, to begin with. Wishing the best for you Kate. -

I am sorry, but by the end of Dawson's creek they were avg 4 million viewers. That's peanuts. At the height of their show it was 6 million viewers. In contrast friends had an average of 14 to 24 millions viewers ( this info is taken from Wiki) This is why Rachel ( JA) could make the transition and KM could not. 4 million viewers is not a lot of viewers. The soaps average 3 million. She was a small time TV star. For people who watched Dawson's Creek she was a mega star, but the average person she was a nobody until she got with TC. If anything that raised her star. People would want to see a movie with her in it just because she was TC wife. TC has a wildly successful acting career so I doubt people were turned off by the Scientology. I also doubt TC really controlled what she did that much. From 2003 - 2006 (when she married TC and DC ended) She did 6 movies or TV shows. So about 2 a year. Nothing besides Batman Returns was a mega success. Thank you for Smoking did ok ( had a 10 million budget and made 40 million) So obviously, she wasn't riding the success of Dawson's Creek into big time Hollywood. She was in 6 roles from 06- 11. But you also have to factor in she had a kid. None of those movies were the best. I think Jack and Jill did ok at the box office.
She is nothing more than TC ex wife. I like others would suggest she move back into TV because over the last 10 years the big screen hasn't liked her. She's been in 12 TV/movie roles in the last 10 years and still hasn't "made it". She is a TV star and will never be a movie star. -

Nothing more than TC ex-wife? Oh,pleaseshe had a caree5b4r BEFORE she met him, and will continue to have one afterwards. Her career was never dependent on his,anyway-he didn't make or break her, regardless.
