‘Boardwalk Empire’ Actor Dies at 41

The actor was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year.

Boardwalk Empire actor Devin Lee Harjes has died at 41. Harjes, who was known for his storied acting work across hit shows like Netflix’s Daredevil, HBO’s Boardwalk Empire, and Fox’s Gotham, died Tuesday at the Mount Sinai West hospital in New York City, The Hollywood Reporter reported. He was diagnosed with cancer earlier in February, according to THR. “He was an artist of great conviction who never gave less than one hundred percent to any role he undertook,” a representative for Harjes told NBC News. “As a person, he was generous, kind, understanding and devoted to his family and friends, a great horseback rider and had a magic way with all animals.” Harjes’s acting credits also include roles in Orange Is the New Black, Blue Bloods, and FBI. He is survived by his parents, Randy and Rosanne Harjes; his sister and her husband, Trisha Harjes and Justin Kelley; four nieces and nephews; and his ex-wife, Shiva Sobitha.
