被诊断出第3期的大肠癌，不幸的在星期三过世，时年48岁。
The actor was diagnosed with Stage 3 colorectal cancer in November 2024.
James Van Der Beek, the actor who endeared himself to a generation of
television viewers as the star of the drama series “Dawson’s Creek,” died
Wednesday.
He was 48.
“He met his final days with courage, faith, and grace,” Kimberly Van Der
Beek, his wife, said on Instagram. “There is much to share regarding his
wishes, love for humanity and the sacredness of time. Those days will come.”
“For now we ask for peaceful privacy as we grieve our loving husband,
father, son, brother, and friend,” she added.
In early November 2024, Van Der Beek announced he had been diagnosed with
Stage 3 colorectal cancer, which develops in the colon or rectum.
“I’ve been dealing with this privately until now, getting treatment and
dialing in my overall health with greater focus than ever before,” Van Der
Beek said in a Nov. 3, 2024, post on Instagram. “Please know that my family
and I deeply appreciate all the love and support.”
He chronicled his experience living with cancer on Instagram, where he
frequently paid tribute to his wife and children for their support.
Van Der Beek was best known for playing Dawson Leery, the earnest,
introspective aspiring filmmaker at the center of the WB’s “Dawson’s Creek.
” The show ran for six seasons, became a classic of the teen drama genre and
later found new life on streaming services.
“The little pilot we shot in that small town for that fledgling network
aired, changed our lives and launched our careers,” Van Der Beek wrote in a
Jan. 25, 2018, post on Instagram in honor of the show’s 20th anniversary.
The series turned Van Der Beek into a youth heartthrob and catapulted him
into the national limelight. He appeared on magazine covers and regularly
found himself surrounded by adoring teenagers — a taste of pre-internet fame
he later discussed with a tone of amusement.
“When it first started happening, the people who were coming up to me were
teenage girls who were screaming,” Van Der Beek told People magazine in
2024, reflecting on his early brushes with fame.
“I have what I call the lamest form of PTSD ever, which is when I hear
teenage girls go, ‘Oooh!’ When I hear that titter, I go into a still space
... [then] I’m like: Dude, get over yourself,” he added.
