James Van Der Beek — cancer, death

did:plc:aghp3obuelre3wubeblxrxsi · 2026-02-12T05:07:08.650Z

James Van Der Beek’s death made me recall a fav performance. He was genuinely repulsive as Sean Bateman in The Rules of Attraction (Patrick Bateman’s younger brother), embodying toxic masculinity while still seeming like someone searching for meaning (and failing). He was all in on the role.

Posts reporting James Van Der Beek’s passing and mourning (“RIP JVB”, “oh no :( :(”, “I really key hoping he would beat cancer.”). Mentions his 2025 plan to auction memorabilia to fund cancer treatment and criticism of the US healthcare system: ‘In November 2025, Van Der Beek revealed plans to auction off memorabilia ... to fund his cancer treatment.’

Di Dawson's Creek vidi solo qualche puntata isolata, senza continuità; lui aveva il volto da bravo ragazzo, tutto qui. Più di recente ho visto qualche stagione delle "Casalinghe disperate": troppo buffe!

I have Dawson from Dawson's Creek to thank for helping me realize that I couldn't be part of the world of toxic masculinity that he represented. I started transitioning in late 1998 and transitioned at work and in life in April 1999.

He did a couple, there was a Dawson’s reunion he had to miss because of illness, and he’d sold memorabilia to fund his treatment. He had stage 3 colon cancer when he was diagnosed. Cancer can go badly for anyone, but I don’t think this is going to end up being about cost of traditional treatments.

2/12/26, 08:07 AM
What marks him out, though, is what followed. Rather than flee the shadow of Dawson, he turned towards it and gently mocked it. He played with his own image, stretched it, even skewered it. There was courage in that self-awareness, and a touch of mischief.
