Following the conclusion of the popular teen drama “Dawson’s Creek” in 2003, Van Der Beek had a number of TV and movie appearances. At the age of 48, James Van Der Beek, the teenage idol who starred in coming-of-age dramas at the start of the new millennium and rose to stardom as the lead in “Dawson’s Creek,” passed away.
James David Van Der Beek, our beloved, died quietly this morning. He approached his last days with elegance, bravery, and trust. Regarding his desires, affection for people, and the value of time, there is plenty to say. “Those times will come,” the actor’s family warned in a statement. As we mourn our devoted husband, father, son, brother, and friend, we kindly request some quiet time to ourselves. In 2024, Van Der Beek disclosed that he was undergoing treatment for colon cancer.
Van Der Beek, who was under 20, portrayed Dawson Leery, a 15-year-old who wanted to become a director of the calibre of Steven Spielberg. Paula Cole’s “I Don’t Want To Wait,” the melancholy theme song for Dawson’s Creek, contributed to the WB channel’s reputation as a safe space for teenagers and young adults who could relate to its hyper-articulate speech and candid discussion of sexuality.
