It's a sad day for the entertainment world as we bid farewell to the talented and versatile actor, Devin Harjes. Reports have confirmed that the 41-year-old star passed away on May 27, 2025, after a hard-fought battle against cancer.
Known for his prominent roles in some of the most popular TV shows, Devin left an indelible mark on the small screen. From 'Boardwalk Empire' to 'Gotham', 'Manifest', 'Daredevil', 'Blue Bloods', and 'FBI', Devin's performances were always noteworthy.
Boardwalk Empire marked a pivotal moment in Devin's career, where he skillfully portrayed the real-life world heavyweight boxing champion, Jack Dempsey. His portrayal in this series was met with critical acclaim, marking a significant milestone in his budding career[1][2][3].
On 'Manifest', Devin starred as Pete Baylor, a member of the notorious Meth Heads drug posse, spanning nine episodes across the second and third seasons. This role not only showcased Devin's acting prowess but also demonstrated his ability to play intricate, multi-layered characters[1][3][4].
In 'Daredevil', Devin stepped into the shoes of Oscar, a Rikers Island nurse. This role added another layer to his diverse portfolio, highlighting his adaptability in tackling various roles[1][2][3]. On 'Gotham', Devin showcased his versatility by playing Clyde, a bank security guard. He effortlessly transitioned from one genre to another, demonstrating his wide range as an actor[1][2][3].
Off-screen, Devin was more than just an actor. Born in Lubbock, Texas, in 1983, Devin held a deep love for animals, particularly horses[2]. Despite his passion for caring for animals, he chose to follow his heart and pursue his acting career in the Dallas-Fort Worth theatre community. Devin subsequently moved to New York City, where he honed his skills on student films and off-Broadway shows before breaking into independent cinema[1].
Devin's filmography includes 'The Forest is Red', a role that won him the best actor award at Italy's Tolentino International Film Festival, and 'The Boyz of Summer'. Additionally, Devin was a dedicated martial arts practitioner, often jesting that gym workouts were safer than being kicked by a horse[2].
