It is with a heavy heart that we remember James Van Der Beek. We had the pleasure of working with him on Sidelined: The QB and Me and Sidelined 2: Intercepted.

James inspired generations with his wonderful presence and memorable performances. Our thoughts are with his fans, friends, and family during this incredibly difficult time. ❤️
