Dawson's Creek actors have led tributes to James Van Der Beek, who has died aged 48 after suffering from bowel cancer.
The star was diagnosed with the disease in the latter half of 2023 but only revealed the news in November 2024.
Among those who reacted to Van Der Beek's death was his Dawson's Creek co-star Busy Philipps, who played a university roommate of Joey Potter, portrayed by Katie Holmes.
In a post on Instagram, Philipps wrote: "James Van Der Beek was one in a billion and he will be forever missed and I don't know what else to say. I am just so so sad. He was my friend and I loved him and I'm so grateful for our friendship all these years."
She urged her 2.4m followers to help out his family through the online fundraiser that they had set up to help with medical bills and other expenses.
