“They were all dead. The final gunshot was an exclamation mark on everything that had led to this point. I released my finger from the trigger. And then it was over.”
I was so happy he got to return for that Ghost Recon cameo. I was pissed at Ubisoft for a while for replacing him for Blacklist, but then it turned out he couldn’t do it for health reasons and just wanted to keep it hush-hush.
I’m glad he’s doing better now, can’t believe he beat three different cancers.
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.
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.
I rewatched Viper a few months ago, it’s on Pluto for free.
For the first time since it aired in the 90s. I didn’t remember that he only did the first 2 seasons. I also only rewatched the 2 seasons he is in, since he was essential for this show. I may have dropped it also, when it aired that’s why i forgot it had more seasons.
Still cool as fuck, including the sparkling gloriousness of the 90s.
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.

Oh damn 😞
A truly iconic voice performance that will remain in gaming history.
Definitely up there with Michael Ironside as Sam Fisher for me as irreplaceable performances in videogames.
I was so happy he got to return for that Ghost Recon cameo. I was pissed at Ubisoft for a while for replacing him for Blacklist, but then it turned out he couldn’t do it for health reasons and just wanted to keep it hush-hush.

RIP James. He brought those legendary games to life. One of the best trilogies in gaming.
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.
Well at least he is no longer in pain.
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
/s
Well this sucks.
Loved this dudes contributions to the genre.
I only played the first game more than 20 years ago, but I can still hear the voice.

He was also Director Trench in Control.
