James Van Der Beek, the iconic Dawson’s Creek star, has passed away at 48. While millions knew him from TV and film, James also had a love for the stage — making his off-Broadway debut at 16 and returning to theatre later in his career. He even sent a heartfelt video message for a Broadway-related Dawson’s Creek reunion reading in 2025.
His talent, passion, and warmth touched fans on and off the screen. His legacy in both theatre and television will always be remembered. 💫
