'Scream 7' star Mason Gooding opens up about the profound lesson James Van Der Beek taught him while working together on 'The Gates,' one of the late actor's final projects before his passing in February 2026 . Gooding shares that Van Der Beek "educated" him "on the idea that we're good men before we're good actors"—a piece of wisdom that has stayed with him . The emotional tribute comes as 'The Gates' prepares for its March 13 release, giving audiences one last chance to see Van Der Beek on screen. #masongooding #jamesvanderbeek #thegates #scream7 #tribute #goodman #legacy
