I still remember how cool it was to play as the Max Payne character in the trilogy and perform cool John Wick-style things in a video game. Rockstar Games took it to X (formerly Twitter) to share its thoughts on the voice actor who made Max Payne an intense and fan-favorite character.

He will forever live through our memories of being the badass from New York. We send our condolences to his family. May my beloved childhood hero Rest In Piece.
