Alan Wake and Max Payne voice actor James McCaffrey has died at 65

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.”

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.
