Devin Harjes, a popular American television actor recognized for his work in “Boardwalk Empire,” “Daredevil,” and “Gotham,” passed away on May 27 in New York City. He was just 41 years old.
Harjes’ death was announced via an obituary posted on his website.
Harjes portrayed boxing great Jack Dempsey in two episodes of “Boardwalk Empire” Season 2, and he had a nine-episode role on the Netflix sci-fi series “Manifest,” where he took on the character of Pete Baylor, a member of a drug gang called the Meth Heads. On “Daredevil,” he played Oscar, a nurse at Rikers Island. In “Gotham,” his role was that of a bank guard named Clyde.
His other TV credits include “Blue Bloods,” “Orange Is the New Black,” “Elementary” and “FBI.”
Harjes hails from Lubbock, Texas, born in July 1983. His initial passion lay with caring for animals, particularly horses. However, he abandoned this affection to pursue an acting career within the Dallas-Fort Worth theater scene. Eventually, he ventured to New York City, contributing his skills to student films and off-Broadway productions. He eventually found himself in independent cinema, gracing films such as “The Forest is Red,” which earned him the title of best actor at Italy’s Tolentino International Film Festival, and “The Boyz of Summer.
The obituary reveals that aside from his acting career, Harjes was deeply committed to mastering martial arts and regularly attended the gym. He often humorously claimed that working out was less risky than receiving kicks from a horse.
Harjes is survived by his parents, Randy and Rosanne Harjes, and his sister Trich Harjes.
