  • James Van Der Beek Pays Tribute to Paul Walker

    “Effortlessly golden,” that is the way that James Van Der Beek described his friend Paul Walker. Van Der Beek took to Twitter on Thursday in a touching Throwback Thursday Tribute (#tbt) after finding a few pieces of old movie memorabilia.

    One piece in particular brought the Dawson’s Creek actor to tears, a poster from their high school football drama Varsity Blues. The coming of age film was released in 1999 and depicts the high school football as religion environment of small town Texas life.

    The poster captures the two young men on the sidelines during a pivotal game. In the film, Van Der Beek’s character steps in as the quarter back after Walker’s character suffers an injury. Walker acts as a sort of coach on the sidelines in the film.

    Van Der Beek also posted a picture of the Varsity Blues Playbook and one of their Hook and Ladder plays.

    The Fast & Furious star passed away on November 30th from injuries sustained in an automobile accident. The funeral service is being held this afternoon.

  • James Van Der Beek Remembers Paul Walker on Twitter

    James Van Der Beek posted a picture of he and Paul Walker together on Twitter Thursday, as part of the popular “Throwback Thursday.”

    The picture was from a scene of the movie Varsity Blues, in which Van Der Beek played the lead role of Mox, and Walker as Lance. Van Der Beek wrote “#tbt came across this poster in a storage unit and almost cried… @paulwalker.”

    Van Der Beek also posted the football team’s playbook, with the tweet “Also came across this #VarsityBlues” as the caption. From the playbook, Van Der Beek posted a picture that shows a play that was changed, saying “#HookandLadder in X’s and O’s. Must have looked better for camera to run it on the other side…”

    Van Der Beek also expressed his grief on Twitter:

    The men acted together in this 1999 film about a high school football team during the early days of their careers. The movie also featured Jon Voight and Amy Smart.

    Walker tragically passed away November 30 in a fiery car crash. He was mostly known for his recurring role in the action film franchise Fast and Furious, and for his laid-back and genuine personality.

    Walker will be cremated this weekend in a private service at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in the Hollywood Hills. He was survived by his daughter Meadow.
