The creator of the highly acclaimed series Ivan Quashigah, ‘Things We Do For Love,’ is in a state of shock and sorrow following the passing of actor Vincent McCauley, who portrayed the character Max in the series.
McCauley, unfortunately, passed away on Monday, January 15, and the specific cause of his death remains undisclosed.
Expressing his profound sadness on Instagram, Mr. Quashigah shared that while he was aware of McCauley’s health challenges, he was not fully cognizant of the severity of his illness. Despite facing health issues, the actor, known for his lively and cheerful demeanor, showed no evident signs of distress.
Recalling a recent incident during the filming of ‘Yolo Season 7,’ Mr. Quashigah conveyed his disbelief and deep sense of loss over the unexpected demise of Vincent McCauley.
“You had to miss the filming of some scenes and I was left to find a way out. The gentleman you were, you made it a point to come to the office to personally apologise.”
“Unfortunately, I did not notice the severity of your condition because as usual, you gave us your signature handshake that almost removed our arms from our bodies,” he added.
The filmmaker revealed his plan to contact McCauley on the day to discuss a possible upcoming project and inquire about his welfare, only to receive the heartbreaking news of his sudden demise.
Reflecting on the recent tragedies, Mr. Quashigah mourned the losses, including McCauley’s on-screen cousin in “Things We Do for Love,” Marleen (Lois), and Ekow Blankson, who played his boss in “Inspector Bediako.”
“Hmmm. Vincent! What do I do with the new scripts? This cuts really deep!… Lord, teach us how to number our days and to recognize how few they are and help us to spend them as we should. Your word says in all things we should give thanks, but this really, really hurts. Rest in Peace Nephew.”
