This hits hard, the Max Payne 1 was my introduction to Film Noir storytelling and I can still remember how I felt when I finished it in that first play thru.
Keep on driving into the night Mr. McCaffery, it’s a late good bye, such a late a good bye.
This one hit hard, he was truly iconic. I haven’t played Max Payne 1 or 2 for decades but I still remember his performance vividly. I wonder what will happen now with both Alan Wake 2 DLCs and the Max Payne remake on the horizon.
Maybe they will have him voiced by the real Max Payne - Mark Wahlburg

Dang, I was really hoping this wasn’t true. I was just talking with a friend a couple days ago about how great and iconic James is as Max Payne.
One of the earliest pieces of media I can remember consuming was the mid-90s TV show Viper, where James played the main character. I remember very little about the show except James’s face and that he played his character cool as fuck.
I’ve been replaying Alan Wake and Control recently, and I have such a soft spot for his roles in them because I loved that stupid show when I was a kid.
Well at least he is no longer in pain.
I only played the first game more than 20 years ago, but I can still hear the voice.
