Cause of death: Stage 3 colorectal cancer, first announced in 2023. I’d say he fought the good fight. Deepest condolences to his family and friends.

Rules Of Attraction is one of my favourite films, James was superbly talented. And above all, looked to be a great guy who loved his family dearly. A very sad loss
So sad. I was obsessed with Dawsons Creek back in the day so this fucking sucks.

He was so fun playing “himself” in Don’t Trust the B in Apartment 23. Can highly recommend giving that one a watch if you haven’t. It’s…quirky.

Don’t wait till 50! Did mine at 48, because my wife had hers done and “said, it’s not a big deal just do go do it!” Thank goodness I did, had two polyps removed one of which was a carcinoma. Had I waited another year to 18 months would’ve been having a much different conversation about cancer. I now know more people then I care too who have been lost to this disease far younger than me, as young as 37.
Please, just go do it. It’s not a big deal. These people are paid to see butts for a living and they’ve seen them all. To those reading this and fighting, F cancer and keep fighting.

I thought you were gonna leave out the crying face and that would have been a shame. He laughed with that too.
My mom is forever 47 and beautiful. My own diagnosis came at 37. My own cancer was easier than losing her. I don’t pray, but my heart breaks for his children and any child who experiences young parent loss. You don’t get over it. You carry it with you the rest of your life

He played one of the most terrifying baddies in Criminal Minds. I hadn’t realised till then how good an actor he was. Very sorry to learn he’s passed away.
