Better known for his days on 'Dawson's Creek,' James Van Der Beek is slowly making a comeback, having appeared on 'One Tree Hill' and now on 'Mercy.' This James Van Der Beek [Cosmopolitan June editorial](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles) has the actor playing a '[Naughty Doctor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela),' and he shows just why people haven't had enough of him.

Although I can't believe I'm admitting this, Van Der Beek looks damn good. No wonder he's playing a doctor on 'Mercy'--it suits him completely. Photographed by Markus Klinko and Indrani, the James Van Der Beek Cosmopolitan spread shows that the actor knows just what the magazine's readers want.
