James decided to try and pursue a professional acting career when he was 15 years old. As with many other famous actors, James started to build a name for himself in the theatre first, before moving on to film industry. As a teenager, he performed in the play ”Finding the Sun” which was a great success and in the musical “Shenandoah”. In 1995, James started his film career by appearing in the comedy drama film “Angus” and a year later in the romantic drama “I Love You, I Love You Not”.

Even though James tried to study in Drew University, he dropped out to concentrate on acting only. 1997 was the year that completely changed James’s career when he decided to audition for the teenage TV show’s “Dawson Creek” pilot episode. The series ran for six seasons and became a worldwide success. Another role that had a key importance in James’s career and rising net worth was in the 1999 coming-of-age sports drama “Varsity Blues”. James’s spectacular performance resulted in him winning MTV Movie Award as “Best Breakthrough Male Performer”, Teen Choice Award in “Film – Breakout Performance” in 1999, and a Blockbuster Entertainment Award as “Favorite Actor – Newcomer” in 2000. In the next few years, James appeared in a number of movies and TV shows. In 2000 he made a cameo appearance in a parody horror film “Scary Movie” and even though his role hasn’t been credited, he won a MTV Movie Award for “Best Cameo in a Movie” in 2001. It is worth noting that he has appeared on a few episodes of the popular police procedural TV show “Criminal Minds” in 2007, sitcom “How I Met Your Mother” in 2008 and again in 2013 which might also have influenced his net worth.

However, it seems that James’s net worth might experience an impressive increase as he has been chosen to play one of the main roles in a new political procedural TV series “CSI: Cyber” which are a part of an extremely successful CSI franchise and will without a doubt receive some level of success and recognition in the near future.

In his personal life, James Van Der Beek has been married twice, firstly to actress Heather McComb in 2003, but the couple divorced in 2010. In the same year, he married Kimberly Brook, with whom he soon had a daughter and they now have two more children.
