James Van Der Beek Almost Got a 10 on 'DWTS,' But Had a Tiny Mistake (Video)

James Van Der Beek was SO close to being the first contestant on Dancing With the Stars to get a 10 this season, but he had a tiny mistake that cost him the extra point.

The 42-year-old actor performed a Viennese Waltz with partner Emma Slater during the special Halloween episode on Monday (October 28) in Los Angeles.

James‘ dance was set to the tune of Annie Lennox‘s song “I Put a Spell On You.” He received 27 out of 30 points due to the one minor slip-up during his performance.

The judges all pointed out how James appeared to slip at one point and he said he slipped on the fog.
