I feel really sad about this too, he always seemed like such a lovely guy. Only 48 😔 gosh life is so precious isn’t it. His wife and kids must be devastated

Dawson Creek was an absolute favourite of mine as a teen. That theme tune was the soundtrack to my teenage summers.
Such sad news. He was so open about his battle with cancer. I hope his family get the privacy and peace they need.

I loved and still love the theme tune x

His children are so, so young. Between the ages of 12 and 3. It just seems so cruel and unfair.

He was great in Don't Trust The B in Apartment 23, properly sent himself up. Dawson's Creek was part of my 90s Channel 4 guilty pleasure.

RIP James 💔

Just seen this, so so sad. Grew up watching Dawson’s Creek. His poor family, 48 is no age at all 💔

This is such sad news. His poor family and 6 kids no longer have their daddy. Heart breaking and taken far too young.

So sad, his poor wife and children. I was always team Dawson ❤️

Absolutely tragic, he was such an icon back in the day. Terribly sad for his children, they’re so young 💔
