Outside of gaming, McCaffrey had starred in several TV shows and films. His most prolific role was as Jimmy Keefe on the FX series Rescue Me in which he appeared in 56 episodes between 2004 and 2011. He also had a bit part in Sex and the City opposite Sarah Jessica Parker as one of her character’s various flings. Most fittingly, he appeared as an extra in the Hollywood adaptation of Max Payne but had also starred in other films.
McCaffrey is survived by his wife, Rochelle Bostrom, and their daughter Tiernan McCaffrey.
