After the passing of actor James Van Der Beek, support has poured in from around the world.

In an industry often defined by red carpets, box office numbers, and social media buzz, some of the most meaningful stories rarely make headlines. Behind the scenes, many actors and entertainers consistently support families, communities, and causes — often without public announcements or media campaigns.

Among the many donors, one name quietly stood out: Zoe Saldaña.

According to the family’s GoFundMe page, she set up a recurring $2,500 monthly donation, adding up to $30,000 every year, to help his wife and six children with living expenses during an unimaginably difficult time.

The fundraiser has already surpassed $2.2 million, far beyond its original $1.5M goal, as fans, friends, and fellow actors rally around the family.

It’s a rare reminder that kindness can echo far beyond the spotlight… especially when it’s done quietly.
