Actor, 48, who revealed colorectal cancer diagnosis last year, to also auction memorabilia from Varsity Blues
Actor James Van Der Beek will once again be selling collector’s items from some of his beloved films and TV shows, including Dawson’s Creek, to help pay for his treatment for colorectal cancer.
“I’ve been storing these treasures for years, waiting for the right time to do something with them, and with all of the recent unexpected twists and turns life has presented recently, it’s clear that the time is now,” Van Der Beek told People.
The collection, which includes an outfit he wore in the Dawson’s Creek pilot, and a hat featured in the 1999 film Varsity Blues, will be auctioned at Propstore’s annual Winter Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction, which runs from 5 December to 7 December.
This is the second time Van Der Beek, who rose to fame for his eponymous role on the hit TV series Dawson’s Creek, has sold memorabilia since he revealed his diagnosis late last year. The 48-year-old actor said at the time he had reason for optimism and continued working, appearing in the movie Sidelined: The QB and Me and on an episode of Walker, a reboot of Walker, Texas Ranger.
