I usually don't care much for celebrity deaths but this one hits close. I honestly think he was one of the best male voice actors in gaming period and my all-time favorite. The memorable narrations in the Max Payne games just wouldn't be as memorable without the nuance and power in his voice. We lost one of the great ones today, truly. RIP!
May his soul rest in peace.
