I’m heartbroken to hear the sad news of James McCaffrey’s passing. We worked together for more than 25 years. He was a lovely man and a dear friend. He was a key part of the Remedy family. He was a brilliant actor. No one could do what he did better than him.
James was Max Payne, Thomas Zane, Zachariah Trench and finally Alex Casey. I had the honor of sharing Max Payne’s role and Casey’s role with him. He was a joy to work with. I will cherish his memory and I miss him. My deepest condolences to his family. Rest in peace, Jim.

McCaffrey is survived by his wife Rochelle Bostrom and their daughter Tiernan McCaffrey.
I wonder what they do with the remakes now, i guess Max will have a new voice.
Thank you James for how much you did for Remedy Entertainment and your fans. And you're the main protagonist in Viper to me while Jeff kept the Defender's seat warm until your return.
I'm making a heaving sigh, because it's a late goodbye, but... One more time. Let's see him one more time. Take care on the other side James and thank you again.
