James McCaffrey, the voice of Max Payne, has passed away at the age of 65.
McCaffrey, who provided the voice of Max Payne for all three games in the series, and also provided his likeness for the character in Max Payne 3, reportedly died on Sunday surrounded by friends and family following a battle with cancer.
As well as his roles as Max Payne, McCaffrey also starred in Remedy‘s game Control, in which he played Federal Bureau of Control director Zachariah Trench.
Remedy has paid tribute to McCaffrey in an update posted on its social channels.

Most recently, McCaffrey provided the voice of Alex Casey in Alan Wake 2, a character whose physical appearance was portrayed by Remedy’s Sam Lake.
Lake was also the model for Max Payne in the first game, bringing McCaffrey’s involvement with Remedy full circle before his passing.
Actor Kevin Dillon had posted a message on Instagram earlier today, saying: “RIP James McCaffrey, we were lucky to have known you. My best friend, you will be missed.”
It was unclear for a while whether Dillon’s message was genuine, the result of a hack or a misunderstanding following the tragic death of a teenager with a similar name in Ireland.
However, TMZ now reports that the actor has indeed died, following confirmation from a representative who said he had been diagnosed with multiple myeloma and passed away on Sunday.

As well as his roles in Remedy’s games, McCaffrey also played Edward Carnby in the 2008 reboot of Alone in the Dark.
He also played one of the main roles in firefighter drama Rescue Me, in which he played the ghost of a deceased firefighter who frequently visited the protagonist in his dreams.

Some 22 years after it first released, the cast of Max Payne recently reunited for a strange but brilliant Alan Wake 2 moment, absent one key member.
Peacemaker is all set to continue as part of the new DCU and creator James Gunn has a promising – and surprise – update on the second season.
Grand Theft Auto 6 is going to feature a female protagonist, but it isn't going "woke" because of it, according to the man who voiced one of the main characters in the previous entry in the series.
You might not realize it, but Mario had quite the year in 2023. Not only did he have multiple games released, both of which were successes in one form or another, but he also had a hit movie that was released in theaters, made over a billion dollars, and has been nominated for several awards. Then, on top of all of that, Mario’s official voice changed over the course of that year. For decades, Charles Martinet was the voice of Mario. But then, starting with Super Mario Bros Wonder, a new voice actor was put into the role after Martinet “retired” from it.
Michael De Santa is one of the most fully fleshed out characters in the Grand Theft Auto franchise. A former crook who feels disconnected from his spoiled, wealthy family, Michael struggles with a desire to relive his ‘glory days’ and finding peace and solace with his estranged loved ones. As relatable as Michael’s story can be at some points, it’s hard to see him as a good person, though one can believe he is trying to become one.
