Aw damn... that really sucks.

He was doing his best to keep in good spirits after his diagnosis. He was a fine actor, a wonderful talent. Rest well, James Van Der Beek.

[Mad Dog McMutt]

I am a big fan of the movie Angus where he played the bully.

So sad, what a terrible thing to happen far too young.

[CyberCubed]

Real shame to die that young. I never watched Dawson's Creek but always saw commercials of it since it aired on the WB right before Buffy back in the day. It's also the show that made Katie Holmes famous.

That’s tragic! You never heard anyone say a bad thing about that guy. Seemed like a genuinely cool dude!
