R.I.P. James Caan. Passed at age 82.
 
James Caan, Oscar-nominated actor of 'The Godfather,' 'Misery' and 'Elf,' dies at 82 - CNN

It is hard for me not to think of his acting in The Godfather when his name is mentioned.

Will be remembered for Godfather and Elf. I really liked him in Misery though. Underrated performance.

The first movie of his I ever saw was Rollerball. I was 12 years old. I think it ruined me for life. lol

The movie about Brian Piccolo was shown in High School and all the guys were trying to conceal their tears.

He was as great actor with some questionable habits allegedly. The joke about him playing Sonny in The Godfather was if he had EZ-Pass he would still be alive.

He was also great in a TV series called Vegas. May he Rest In Peace. I really liked him as an actor.

Brian's Song
 
That was the best ... spent half the movie crying. "I loved Brian Piccolo ".

One of the best! Loved him in The Godfather. “You touch my sister again and I’ll kill you”.

James Caan's best performance was in "Thief". A great Michael Mann directed movie.

I thought that he was shot to death at a tool booth in 1972.

The Rain People - 1969 - written and directed by Francis Ford Coppola

He was great as Axel Freed in the 1975 (I think) movie The Gambler. It isn't one of his most well known performances but he did get a golden globe nomination for it.
