The entertainment industry mourns the loss of James McCaffrey, a beloved actor known for his roles in the popular video game franchise Max Payne and TV shows like Suits and Rescue Me.
McCaffrey, who lost his battle with cancer at the age of 65 on December 17th, left behind a legacy of remarkable performances.
Among his notable roles was that of Harvey Specter’s father in the hit legal drama Suits, portrayed by Gabriel Macht.
Having been trained at the prestigious actor’s studio, McCaffrey possessed an unwavering passion for bringing characters to life.
However, his striking good looks often steered him towards leading man roles, according to his representative who spoke to TMZ.
Colleagues from the Suits cast expressed their condolences to McCaffrey’s family and paid their respects at his funeral.
Yet, one notable absence was Meghan Markle, who chose not to attend the low-key service, where no cameras were present.
Furthermore, she did not offer her condolences on the passing of her colleague.
Some fans argued that Markle’s absence and lack of expression of grief can be attributed to her extended time away from the show.
They suggest that her relationship with the cast may not have been as strong as previously assumed.
Meanwhile, Markle’s recent appearance in a coffee company advertisement has sparked further controversy and mockery.
Markle, who had previously boasted about her aspirations to become a social media influencer, aimed to secure lucrative deals with A-list brands such as Dior.
However, her recent appearance in an advertisement for an instant coffee latte company has raised eyebrows and caused her to be ridiculed.
The ad, shared on Clevver’s Instagram page, focused more on Markle’s presence than on promoting the brand itself.
This unexpected career move has disappointed those who anticipated her collaboration with prestigious companies.
Rumors have also circulated that Markle has been dropped by talent agency WME, and critics have taken to Reddit to express their opinions.
One critic speculated, “The sight of Meghan in a coffee ad makes me think she’s definitely been dropped by WME.”
Others noted that this coffee company endorsement marks Markle’s first venture into post-royal endorsements.
However, it seems that WME had bigger plans for her, hoping to position her as more than just an Instagram influencer.
Unfortunately, these efforts did not yield the desired results, and Markle’s decision-making has been called into question.
As Markle navigates her new path outside the royal family, it remains to be seen what her next move will be.
Will she continue to pursue opportunities as a social media influencer, or will she pivot towards other endeavors?
Only time will tell how she will shape her post-royal career and whether she can regain the respect and support of those who once believed in her potential.
