James McCaffrey, the actor arguably best known within the gaming community for voicing Max Payne, and more recently Alex Casey in Alan Wake 2 and its predecessor, has died at the age of 65.
A representative for McCaffrey told TMZ – which first reported the news – that the actor was previously diagnosed with a type of cancer, multiple myeloma. He reportedly passed away on Sunday (December 17), and was surrounded with family and friends.
In a statement released to TMZ, McCaffrey’s representative said: “One of Dick Wolf’s proteges, McCaffrey went on to a successful 35 year career in television and film. Trained at the Actor’s Studio, he never lost his love for creating characters; however, his good looks often pushed him toward leading man roles.”
This story is developing.
Alan Wake 2, which McCaffrey had a key role in, is one of the best horror games available to play right now, and is one of TechRadar Gaming’s games of the year for 2023.
