“I was so young and so inexperienced,” he admitted. “I think it may have been the second show [I’d] done. I think I did one after-school special before that … I met with my agent and he said, ‘This is an audition to play Sarah Jessica Parker’s boyfriend. I had such a crush on her from ‘Square Pegs’ that I said to him that night, ‘I’m going to get this part.’ And he said, ‘It’s going to be a tough part to get. Everyone wants to play the part.’ And I said, ‘Well, this one, I’m going to get.'”
Kahn appeared in 1999 during Season 2 in an episode titled “The Freak Show.” He played charismatic journalist Ben, who easily lured Carrie Bradshaw (Parker). While the on-screen romance ended disastrously, Kahn enjoyed the perks of the job.

“I got to kiss Sarah Jessica Parker. That was awesome,” he said. “Every time it shows up on TV, I’ll go, ‘Look how young I look! Like a child!”
Then from 2001 until 2002, he starred as Danny Brecher in the WB teen drama, “Dawson’s Creek.”
“I had a lot of fun doing ‘Dawson’s Creek,’ mainly working with Josh Jackson,” he recalled. “I remember when we were in between setups, we would go back to his trailer and he had a PlayStation back then. We would play video games. It was a sweet setup. And then we would go back to work, get 20 minutes, and then run back to the trailer and keep playing video games. It was a really fun time.
“I’m always surprised by how many people remember that role and remember that show.”
He said he isn’t really in touch with the cast of “Dawson’s Creek” but had only great things to say about them.

“…I was really more of a guest on that show. I know they stay in touch. But I’m sort of the old guy who came in for one season. But if I ever do run into any of them, I’m sure it would be very pleasant. They were lovely people.”
Since then, he’s come a long way.
Now, as his dramatic role on “Turn: Washington’s Spies” comes to an end, he’s able to reflect on what he’s learned from taking on such a serious role.
“As I got further with [‘Turn’], I learned more and more about what an amazing man [Washington] was and how much he sacrificed for his country,” he said. “It was love at first sight, second sight, and even third sight.”
