Actor Devin Harjes, best known for appearing in “Boardwalk Empire,” “Daredevil” and “Gotham,” has died. He was 41.

Harjes sadly passed away last week on Tuesday at Mount Sinai West hospital in New York City due to an illness that had been diagnosed as cancer back in February, as reported by the Hollywood Reporter.

He is survived by his parents, Randy and Rosanne Harjes, his sister Trish Harjes, his two nieces, ex-wife Shiva Shobitha, and several other relatives according to his obituary.

Originally from Lubbock, Texas, Harjes enjoyed horseback riding during his childhood. He pursued acting in college and kick-started his career on off-Broadway stages and in independent movies.

In 2011, Harjes made his television acting debut in “Boardwalk Empire.” He played Jack Dempsey in two episodes of the crime drama series.

Harjes went on to portray Clyde, a bank guard, in “Gotham” in 2015 and Oscar, a nurse who worked at Rikers Island, in “Daredevil” in 2015.

He also appeared in episodes of “Blue Bloods,” “Orange Is the New Black,” “Elementary” and “FBI,” and the films “Surprise Surprise, Mr. Conovy,” “Rebel in the Reye,” “Boyz of Summer” and “The Forest Is Red.”

For his role in “Boyz of Summer,” Harjes received an Honorable Mention for Best Supporting Actor at the Long Island International Film Expo. Additionally, he earned Best Actor at the Tolentino International Film Festival in Italy for his role in “The Forest Is Red.”

Most recently, Harjes played recurring character Pete Baylor in the nBC series “Manifest.”

“Boyz of Summer” director and writer Antonio DiFonzo honored Harjes in a Facebook post on Friday.

“Terribly sad news as we lost Devin Harjes, an amazing actor and friend,” DiFonzo wrote. “He was constantly striving to be better and put his heart and soul into everything he did!”

“We will never forget you and your amazing part in The Boyz of Summer and our lives,” DiFonzo added. “Rest in peace, Lion Heart!”

Harjes’ obituary read: “Outside of acting, Devin was a dedicated student of martial arts and a regular at the gym—he often joked it was safer than getting kicked in the face by a horse.”

In lieu of flowers, Harjes’ family asked for donations to be made to TKC Blessings in his name. All proceeds will support scholarships for children pursuing the arts.
