RIP. I knew it wasn’t good when he was looking into alternative medicine. I hope his wife and children are able to grieve in peace.

Unbelievably sad news. I didn’t watch Dawson’s Creek but I loved him in Don’t Trust the B in Apt 23. James clearly had a great sense of humour about himself.

Fuck cancer, man. His poor kids.

Damnit. I knew it was coming, but still sucks to see.
Reminder to all of us, stay on top of your annual physicals. Do not let your doctors dismiss your concerns.
You are your own best advocate.

He did look really unwell in the latest pictures.
Very young. He seemed to be scrambling to pay for medical care, but cancer is relentless.

This has truly gutted me. I absolutely loved Dawson’s Creek. RIP, James. Love to his loved ones. His poor wife Kimberly, and 6 children. 2026 has been awful. Our childhood is dying piece by piece. Using his gifs will hurt.

Damn, this one hurts 🙁
Time to do my annual rewatch of Don’t Trust The B early I guess
I just watched this a week ago. IMO his best work.

It was obvious but I was still hoping he could somehow pull through.😭
So people know, this is the same cancer Catherine O’Hara passed from except hers was found in the rectum. Colorectal Cancer is found in the colon or rectum. If you notice changes in your stool: shape, color, or constant constipation please talk to your primary to get a colonoscopy.

Oh so sad.. Prayers for his family, wife and children!! No one should mourn a parent that young..

So awful.
Before Dawson’s Creek, I knew of him from a short stint on As the World Turns, as well as in things like the movie “Angus.”
I loved DC. I know it’s popular, particularly in more recent years, to hate on his character on that show, but I always liked Dawson.
He also showed range in other performances.
Only 48 years old and he leaves behind six kids, too young.
Rest in peace, James.

Literally on the phone right now to schedule my first colonoscopy. RIP, James. You were a good one.

It feels like a part of my adolescence just died. He truly defined an entire era of TV. This is heartbreaking.
