RIP. :(

 

[SunBroDave]

Fuck cancer. Rest in peace

 

[Macarello]

Shit, I was really holding out it was just someone being misinformed. His voice will always be iconic, and Alan Wake 2 was an incredible final performance.

 

[ZodiacWolve]

Rest in Peace :(

 

[wwm0nkey]

Fuck man, Rest in Peace James. Gave us incredible performances and he will be greatly missed.

[miguelfcp]

Damnnn! So it is really true. What shit news specially on holiday season. RIP

 

[Kirksplosion]

Damn, that's so sad. Rest in peace.

I'm still making my way through Alan Wake 2, and his performance is spellbinding. Just incredible work.

 

[Beefsquid]

Awful, rest in piece

 

[Zebesian-X]

so sad :( what a voice

 

[Linus815]

It's quite a bit disrespectful how some people talked about Kevin as if he was karma farming.

RIP James. You have cemented your place in the medium for an eternity.

 

[Dust]

Fuck...😢

 

[Mary Celeste]

What a shame, rest in peace. His performance in AW2 is astounding.

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

Damn that sucks. I was just playing Max Payne 3 last week.

 

[Voror]

I admit I'm only familiar with him from his roles as Trench and recently Casey in Alan Wake 2 but really enjoyed him in both.

RIP

 

[TsuWave]

RIP

 

[RoboPlato]

Oh my god. So sad to see a remarkable talent gone like that

 

[EatChildren]

He must have already been so sick recording for Alan Wake II. Tragic.

 

[Nikus]

God damn that fucking sucks, he was the best
RIP

 

[MaiorZero]

That's devastating for me. I loved him as voice actor. Max Payne Remake without him will be something completely different.

 

[Lifejumper]

Damn rip

 

[senj]

Man. Max Payne / Alex Casey's voice. Director Trench. He was a big part of several of my favourite games.

 

[--R]

Terrible news. He was a terrific actor, RIP.

 

[Wiseblood]

Damn this sucks. Even before Max Payne I was a fan of his because he was the star of "Viper" and when I was a kid I thought that was the coolest shit.

 

[GamerEDM]

RIP
isnt max payne in development right now?

 

[verygooster]

And he managed to work on AW2. Damn. RIP.

Thank you for Max Payne, iconic character.

 

[Mifec]

Horrible news. Rest in peace James.

 

[Nameless]

Ahh man this is heart breaking. Been a fan of his work dating back to grade school. What a wonderful talent, glad he was at least able to have his swansong with one last masterful performance in Alan Wake 2.

RIP.

 

[gabdeg]

Damn, so it was true after all. RIP.

 

[FakePlasticTree]

RIP James, what a performance for Max and not Max in AW2

 

[liquiddragon]

I would put his Max Payne and David Hayter's Snake as the 2 most iconic male voice work in gaming. Sad, RIP.

 

[vestan]

RIP

 

[th1nk]

The voice of a generation. RIP.

 

[Billfisto]

Crud. Rest in peace, James.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Control 2 then Max Payne 1&2 were next on the docket in that order.

Max Payne is further than Control 2 apparently.

 

[Roxas]

Oh god, what? Holy shit, his voice was amazing and inspiring. Thanks James and fuck cancer.

 

[LossAversion]

Fuck...

The Max Payne remakes will not be the same without him. His voice was so iconic. I remember that Rockstar wasn't going to bring him back for Max Payne 3 and fans were not having that.

 

[WanderingVoid]

Damn, so sad. Truly a great, iconic voice actor.

RIP. :(

 

[Tace]

RIP and thank you for the great memories

 

[Jormatar]

Tremendous loss for the industry. Rest in piece, legend.

 

[chris 1515]

RIP

 

[Dead Man Typing]

I'd only recently looked into his other work due to his performance in Alan Wake 2. Very sad to hear he passed away and he'll be missed in future Remedy games.

Really? Wonder if that will be his last performance then if it's that far along.

Fuck man he really is going to be missed, some excellent VA work
