I saw this article and picture earlier. With picture and having to drop out of the Dawson’s reunion he isn’t doing well.

Awful situation. Cancer sucks for what it does to you, and what most treatments do to you including harming your immunity system and making patients susceptible to things that normally wouldn’t be that big of a deal but can be deadly to cancer patients.

He has had a pretty good life. Iconic in many ways for 90s kids. Varsity Blues is a time stamp. Atta boy, Mox.

There’s no witty comment or good joke for this. God wish him well.

I saw this picture earlier. Just absolutely crazy. I'm younger than him but it reminds me tomorrow isn't guaranteed and that I'm not even remotely young anymore myself. It hits different when actors and actresses you grew up watching look like this.

My wife has followed him on Instagram for a few years

He's a good guy.

Saw this earlier today and thought the same thing, unfortunately. Poor guy. Seems like a pretty good dude.

His was an even worse prognosis. He had pancreatic cancer which is very rarely beaten.

I was in college when Dawson’s Creek was on. Girl I was seeing at the time was a huge fan. We used to watch it every Tuesday night. I still think they should’ve put Joey with Dawson at the end.
