R.I.P. James McCaffrey you will be missed. Veteran actor James McCaffrey, Known for best his work as Max Payne and Jimmy Keefe on the FX firefighter drama “Rescue Me,” died Sunday. He was 65.
A rep for the star tells us McCaffrey passed away Sunday surrounded by friends and family. We're told he'd been diagnosed with multiple myeloma, and that he ultimately succumbed to the disease.

The cause was multiple myeloma, a cancer of the blood. He was surrounded by family and friends at the time of his death, according to Deadline.

In “Rescue Me,” which aired from 2004 to 2011, he played a New York firefighter who lost his life on 9/11 and appears as a ghostly memory to his grieving cousin Tommy Gavin (series star Denis Leary), also a firefighter.

In 2020, he told Saratoga Living that the character was his favorite he ever played.

“Just because he was a ghost and he died in the World Trade Center on September 11,” McCaffrey said.
