James Van Der Beek, who has died aged 48, was best known for playing the titular character in US teen drama Dawson’s Creek, but in his private life his focus was his wife Kimberly and their six children.
The programme, which began in 1998 and ended in 2003, followed the adventures of four teenage friends, including Van Der Beek’s character Dawson Leery, as they awkwardly came of age in a small Massachusetts suburb.
