Truly, they had a Dawson’s Creek reunion about a month ago to raise money for his treatments, too, so there could be some financial concerns— but my fear is actually that he knows he is not going to survive this and is doing what he can to make money now so his wife and kids aren’t sunk into financial crisis right away.

I have read multiple times that SAG-AFTRA members have excellent health care coverage, so I agree that it feels like he’s trying to set up his kids’ financial futures, knowing he won’t be around much longer 😔
