What a sad news. By far, my favorite voice actor of all time. 

 

I recently finished Alan Wake 2 and he was a stand out, once again.  His deliveries of Max Payne's cynical and noir lines always resonated with me.

 

Share your favorite memories of this legend. And RIP, Mr. Mccaffrey.

 

Edit: Remedy Entertainment, Sam Lake (Creative Director) and Rockstar (current owners of the Max Payne IP) all tweeted heartfelt homages to Mr. McCaffrey.

His line delivery and overall voice acting in Max Payne 3 is one of if not the best performance I have seen in gaming. RIP

Really sad to see another great voice actor gone. His narrations in Max Payne were perfect and I don't think the series would have been the same without him.

The truth was like a green crack through my brain. Weapon statistics floating in the air, glimpsed out of the corner of my eye. the repetitious act of shooting, time slowing down to show off my moves. The paranoid feeling of someone controlling my every step. I was in a computer game. Funny as Hell, it was the most horrible thing I could think of.

 

Shit, that's two of my favorite voice actors gone (the other being Conroy). Hopefully, Roger L. Jackson sticks around for many years to come—he's the same age McCaffrey was.

Gutted by this news. He will forever live on through the Max Payne games for me.

I just found out about his death. Truly sad. I 1st played Max Payne in late 2002 (I was 12) & when I 1st heard his "They are all dead" monologue, I said to me myself: "That's the coolest voice ever." Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne is 1 of my favorite games of all time.

 

 

Even though Max Payne had 3 different faces through the years, he only needed 1 voice. James MCCaffrey WAS Max Payne. He can never be replaced.

 

RIP.
