Even though James Van Der Beek starred on the hit TV show Dawson’s Creek, the actor, who died on Feb 11 at age 48, once revealed that he received no money from the show’s reruns that could have potentially made him wealthy for life.
Van Der Beek said in a 2012 interview that a clause in the contract he signed at age 20 kept him from earning residuals after the teen drama ended and went into syndication, the Daily Mail reported. TV actors have traditionally relied on residuals to provide them with an income after a show ends.
