Alan Wake: I just experienced an inescapable existential horror for 13 years and my mind is shattered from the fear and misery, I don't even know if I'm myself

No offense to Mr. Lake but James McCaffrey should have been nominated as Alex Casey for BAFTA. Yes Sam Lake did motion capture but James McCaffrey did the voice, the very soul of the character that everyone loves. It’s really heartbreaking to see him not even nominated after a stellar performance.
It’s even more upsetting that hardly anyone talks about him when they are speaking about Alex Casey’s character. Those lines people love? The way the character was being portrayed? That was all James McCaffrey. He deserved to be nominated as a supporting actor. He brought Casey to life. He made him the character we love. He deserved to be recognized for his work.
People seem to only complain when Matthew Porretta is not recognized but seem to completely forget about James McCaffrey. Voice actors are every bit as important as their motion capture counterparts. I would say even more so because it’s that performance we hear purely in game.
There should be an even playing field when it comes to recognition and awards. They should treat one character regardless of two performers as ONE. If you don’t you lose half the character. It’s just a face on screen. An empty shadow.
Thanks for reading my post. I’m not angry at any of the other actors but I am frustrated to see something special be grossly overlooked.

Birthdays are like regrets, they just keep coming, each one a new scar that slows you down and drags you, closer to your grave...
Rest in Peace James McCaffrey.

We are devastated to hear about the passing of James McCaffrey. Remedy Entertainment’s games would be nothing without his contributions as a voice actor. He has brought to life several incredible characters: Max Payne, Thomas Zane, Zachariah Trench, and Alex Casey. 
We mourn his loss. He will be remembered through the works he helped create. 
Our condolences to his family and friends. He will be missed.

James McCaffrey voiced three of my favorite characters in games. Zachariah Trench, Alex Casey, and even Thomas the Poet. They all mean different things to me.
Cancer is a sensitive topic for me. I lost my dad to it a few years ago. Cancer keeps taking family members, friends, and people who I've never met, will never meet, but who I have met through their artistic performances. I hope they know how much their work has been an inspiration, a guiding light, a helping hand during difficult times.
Control and Zachariah Trench helped bring me out of a devastating writer's block two years ago. Working on Days of Thunder, writing from Trench's point of view, helped me grow as a writer and as a creative. I've written countless stories featuring James McCaffery's characters and I was working on countless more when I saw the news this morning. It was a gut punch.
For me as a writer, I try to listen closely to the voice performances to try and mimic the tone, cadence, style of speaking for the character. So I spend a lot of time while writing to try and mimic/iterate on what a character like Zachariah Trench or Alex Casey would say, because obviously with fanfic you have to think outside canon/the box.
Talking with @rangerzath about it, I have to steal something they said because it rings so true to me: "the thing that hits hardest is that all of the characters he voiced were fighting something existential, and it's devastating to know that the man behind the voice was fighting something too" and that pains me on multiple levels. I wish he didn't have to go through this. I wish NO ONE had to.
I'm comforted in the fact that he will live on through his art and his performances of such fantastic, vulnerable characters. I know in my heart he gave his all with his last performance of Alex Casey. His delivery of several lines in AW2 will hit much, much harder now. His performance was truly a masterpiece, and he was vital to the characters and stories being told through this game and others he has been a part of.
McCaffrey will be deeply missed by the fans of Remedy's games, and his presence will be missed in all other Remedy games going forward. It will not be the same without him. I'm sending my best wishes and warmth to his family and friends, may he rest in peace.

I turned down the effects and music to hear James Mccaffrey's voice lines better in this scene. Such a talent he was. 😔
