Looks like playing an over-confident version of himself in those Funny or Die videos has paid off.
James Van Der Beek has just been cast to play James Van Der Beek in a sitcom in development at ABC called Don’t Trust the Bitch in Apt. 23.
In the pilot, the Beek will play a heightened version of himself, and the best friend of the title character, played by Krysten Ritter.
Vulture reports the role of a celeb had always been envisioned as part of the show, with a character named Lance Bass in the original script.
Bet the former NSyncer's wishing he came up with DILF Khakis.
