‘Max Payne’ and ‘Rescue Me’ actor James McCaffrey dead at 65
Veteran actor James McCaffrey, who played Jimmy Keefe on the FX firefighter drama “Rescue Me,” died Sunday. He was 65.
The cause was multiple myeloma, a cancer of the blood. He was surrounded by family and friends at the time of his death, according Deadline.
In “Rescue Me,” which aired from 2004-2011, he played a New York firefighter who lost his life on 9/11 and appears as a ghost/memory to his grieving cousin Tommy Gavin (series star Dennis Leary), also a firefighter.
In 2020, he told Saratoga Living that the character was his favorite he ever played.
