I am sad to hear the sad news of death James McCeffrey. We worked together for more than 25 years. He was a wonderful person and a good friend. He was the most important member of the family Remedy. He was a magnificent actor. No one could surpass him.
James was Max Payne, Thomas Zeyn, Zachariah Trench and, finally, Alex Casey. It was an honor for me to share with him the roles of Max Payne and Casey. It was a pleasure to work with him. I will miss and remember with warmth about him. My deepest condolences to his loved ones. Rest in peace, Jim.

As many as 22 years, the appearance of the same voice for noir monologues, the same grin. Someone has not yet been born, and someone has already created that the unborn will remember for many years.
More painful.
At least to continue the finished story of the maxim of the very painful no one will.
I condole everything for whom it is a tangible loss. The more valuable it will be for me the original voice acting Max Payne.
REST in Peace Max. Just now I refer to Max Payne 3 and here is such news ((
There are simply no words. It was impossible to confuse this voice, and I can imagine Max Payne without it, I’m very afraid now for the fate of remakes, because without McCefrey this is not at all right, he probably gave 50% of charm, every game of the series. It is unlikely that he managed to work on reinforcements, because they recently, relatively, moved to the development phase.
Goodbye dear friend.
It was a cool voice actor and the best Max Payne. He put a bold point in this story. It was all over. F
Rest in the world James.
This was a lata goodbye. Thirteen Years after I’d Gotten My Revenge, It Finally Caught Up with Me. IT’D Been a Long Time to Bear The Pain.

Very sad. And for him and for Remedies, a very severe loss, all such bright roles are all (
James Mackefrey – Thank you for your great childhood and for introducing one of the best characters in game militants. No matter how much time has passed, it is important what you and all taught me. You taught us never to give up, pull yourself together in difficult times and not even despair when you think that your life will not be the same. How many times with 8mi not only me, but many also worried about your adventures. Your adventures in the role of Max have always shown one thing – passing constantly through pain and suffering, you always find what it is worth living for. We will miss you. No matter how many years have passed, the memory of you will never pass.
Thank you Max. You will forever remain in our hearts with those emotions and childhood that you gave us.
“The dawn is coming soon. Goodbye, American dream. "
“If you get into hell, there is nothing to do, you have to dance with the devil. "
“They were all dead. Put an end to this story. I removed my finger from the trigger, it was all over."
. – Goodbye James, we will remember you and continue to love in our hearts and memory.
And finally Max found his peace.
Goodbye Max, the pain is finally left, and let it be closed.
Thanks for one of the beautiful and impressive voices.
I am sure many bypassed Control. I just shut up the word that the character of Trengch was perfectly performed. Sometimes it was insanely pleasant to just pause and listen to monologues on a hot line performed by McCeffrey.
Voice and his appearance for me the most important part of life and of all the games the most sunk into my soul, I did not think that I could do so woeful to perceive the news. Thank you, James for Max. Time to recall again Max Payne 3.
Very sad. More recently I heard him as Casey in the Last Alan. It is a pity that such actors are leaving at a relatively young age. Before that, Lance Reddik, who also could play a role in the new design of Remedy
One of the best voices in voice acting. How difficult it will be to replace, especially if in the continuation of Alan there is Casey again. Being even just at the same level – already an achievement.
Truly legendary roles, his legacy in the gaming industry will never be forgotten, f.
Previously, passing Max Payne 2, I somehow did not really think about the acting game McCeffrey, but now I recall Paynov again, I will savor its monologues and understand that I will not hear this in remakes anymore. .
