The star was diagnosed with the disease in the latter half of 2023 but only revealed the news in November 2024.
The father of six starred in multiple popular shows and films in the late 1990s and early 2000s, including the cult classic Dawson’s Creek and Varsity Blues.
In an interview with Business Insider, he revealed he started experiencing changes in his bowel movements, a common symptom of bowel cancer. He stopped drinking coffee to see whether that would help before having a screening test.

RIP. The Dawson's Creek star was battling illness after hiding information since 2023. It's sad see veteran actor going through hardships while having six children.

May he rest in peace. His family might find it hard to accept the reality, but that's life. Hoping they've already moved on.
