HuffPost
The "Dawson's Creek" actor gave his first public comments on his former co-star's death in an emotional "Today" interview Tuesday.
Joshua Jackson reflected on his “formational” friendship with his late “Dawson’s Creek” co-star James Van Der Beek, as he kicked off a new campaign for cancer awareness.
The actor made his first public comments on Van Der Beek’s death in an emotional interview that aired Tuesday on NBC’s “Today,” noting that his “processing” of the loss is still “ongoing.”
“I think it hits in a variety of different ways,” Jackson explained. “For me, as a father now, I think the enormity of that tragedy for his family hits me in a very different way than just as a colleague.”
Jackson and Van Der Beek endeared themselves to a generation of fans as Pacey Witter and Dawson Leery, respectively, on the teen dramedy “Dawson’s Creek,” which aired from 1998 to 2003. The actors had seemingly remained on good terms and reunited publicly on a number of occasions.
