Van Der Beek played a fictional version of himself on the 2012-13 ABC comedy. At one point, the fictional Van Der Beek competed on Dancing with the Stars -- and, as it turns out, he's very good at dancing. At the time, the real Van Der Beek said in a Parade interview he would not be interested in competing on the real Dancing with the Stars. “I think it’s more fun to do it this way," he said. "You can play it for laughs and not have to do all that work!”
