Katie Holmes pays tribute to Dawson's Creek co-star following his death at 51: 'Such a kind man'


Katie Holmes has shared a heartfelt tribute to her former Dawson's Creek co-star Obi Ndefo, who tragically passed away at the age of 51 earlier this week

The 45-year-old film and television actress was deeply moved by the news of Obi Ndefo's passing earlier this week and expressed her sorrow on social media by reposting an image originally shared by Mary-Margaret Humes, 70, another Creek alumni. After news of his death was released, his other co-stars also paid tribute to the late actor, including James Van Der Beek(who played Dawson Leery) and Joshua Jackson(Pacey Witter), who referred to Obi as a "dear friend". Back in 2019, Obi opened up to the LA Times about losing his legs and said: "This is just so horrendous what happened to me, why would I compound this by feeling bad about it?"
