I think James Van Der Beek has a cool name, plus he was hot in Varsity Blues. Never liked him as Dawson though.
Was there any truth to those rumors about James and his CREEK co-star John Wesley Shipp?
I think nobody will ever confirm this but we never know, RM just came out.
He takes in $35,000/mo doing what exactly?
Isn’t it obvious? She’s fuinkcg retarded just like you and Tito, she has a history of drug addiction problems and oh yeah let’s not forget she’s an ex-pornstar, probably the most famous one hence the nickname queen. Look kid just because I insulted some chick you fap too doesn’t mean you have to get all offensive and start ranting and trying to threaten me over the internet. Get a life and stop replying to every comment your little feeble mind finds offensive.
He does guest spots on shows every so often–I remember he was on Medium last year. He is also the voiceover for the Droid phone commercials. And don’t forget any residuals from Dawson’s Creek. All that together probably averages to $35K per month in a given year.
When a studio heads tell you that you need to be married to have a wider appeal and to squelch certain rumors all actors do it…the list is endless of ones that are in the closet and stay married for a certain period of time then divorce… ask Reese Witherspoon the real reason for the divorce or why after getting married has Ryan Reynolds now moved to the A-list of stars….
Wow, Tad. This could be a whole other very interesting thread. Not that it really matters other than the sad loss of one’s freedom to be one’s true self.
