James Caan has died. The iconic actor, known for roles in ‘The Godfather,’ ‘Misery’ and ‘Elf,’ was 82 years old. Exclusives from #EntertainmentTonight • NEW From Entertainment...
I am so bummed because I used to see him frequently here in Santa Monica and never had the guts to tell him that I was a big fan. I just saw him about 10 days ago. Now I'll never have the opportunity again. Rest in peace Mr. Caan. You will live on through your incredible body of work!
Even before he played Brian Piccolo or Sonny Corleone he starred in one my favorites, the unknown ‘Countdown’. I’m a huge fan of the space race to the moon and this came out right around that time, so I really enjoyed it.
Little fun fact about the late, great James Caan. He was an early front runner for the role of Scorpio in ‘Dirty Harry’. Can you imagine Eastwood and Caan in the same movie? My two favorites.
When I heard this horrible news, I darn near died. My heart just dropped. James Caan, has been my favorite actor since Brian's Song. I've followed him since . I've been following his son Scott Caan, since Enemy of the State. I love you both very much. I'm a dear fan. Mr. James Caan, may you rest in heaven my love. 🌹🙏 Mr. Scott Caan, condolences to you and your family. Praying for you all ❤️
RIP James Caan. He got the role of Sonny because of his real life mob connections and it worked out tremendously for him. It's crazy they put Godfather out in '72 and JC died 50yrs later. RIP again.
You have no clue what you’re talking about. Go look up the interviews he gave about Elf. He’s a complete and total JERK who hated the movie, hated and mocked Will Ferrel, and spent his life making everyone around him as miserable as possible. Thank god he’s gone.
I loved him in Misery ,he totally underplayed the role, the writer .I thought he was an unlikely but brilliant choice for the movie . I know Stephen King had reservations about the choice .We all stand to be corrected .
My dad loved the Godfather and so when he had Triplet sons he named me after James Caans character. So this is depressing for me in a specific way. I wished I met him. At least it was a long fulfilling life.
One of the most Iconic actors of his time ! Rip James we all will miss you! Scott stay strong for the family ! Hawaii five O when your dad appeared was one of my favorite episodes!
Never been a actor who better portrayed the classic tough guy. Loved him in Thief directed by Michael Mann. Once heard Caan refer to it as his favorite role. RIP.
Mr.caan will always be the beloved football player Brian picolo in "Brians Song"to me and the scene where kathy bates hits him with a mallot in misery-I felt that pain for days-he was a great legend,l ray Liotta just left us-we are starting to loose the cinemas legends-making way for the younger ones coming up I guess....
His family must be embarrassed to reveal how he died imho or they would go public about it. Yes he was a great actor and played in a lot of good movies. May he RIP. He will be missed.
.. here' s an anecdote, when the peroducer of the film 'Elf' with Will Ferell wanted to send the script to James Caan to see if he would accept to be in the movie, Caan said : no no no, you won' t send me a script with the title 'Elf' on top of it, you will have to write 'Elk' ha ha ha, tough guy forever, great loss (RIP)
82 years of living- what a wonderful gift he left with his movies- Rest In Peace 💐
Legend. Loved his performance in Elf. Thank you, James. #RIPJamesCaan
Loved him as Walter Hobbs in Elf among other films he was in he’ll forever be missed.
My two favorites, ‘The Gambler’ and ‘Thief’. RIP James Caan. Thank you for all of your great roles.
My 2 favorites Brians song and Misery he was such a great actor .
I remembered him for that also. RIP
He was on the naughty list
@@aaronsharp7641 His role in Elf but not the Caan.
Another one of my childhood favorites gone not many left from that incredible time period in cinema. Gone but not Forgotten.
@Michael Markosky
I hear you. I felt a little old when I heard of his passing.
We recently enjoyed his performance in Eraser! Thanks for sharing your talents, Mr. Caan!
All I can say is R.i.P. To this legendary acting great,there will be never anyone else like him.
Misery was where I discovered Mr Caan, he did that role such justice. Sleep softly.
I am so bummed because I used to see him frequently here in Santa Monica and never had the guts to tell him that I was a big fan. I just saw him about 10 days ago. Now I'll never have the opportunity again. Rest in peace Mr. Caan. You will live on through your incredible body of work!

Yes. I think this was the first of many projects with Robert Duvall.
@@jogman262 He is great as well!
@ Kyle Jett
Yes he is. Caan, Duvall and Pacino.
Doesn’t get any better.
I’ve always loved him. One of my all time favorites. 🙏🏻🌹🙏🏻
James Caan brought it to cinema, you were a great one. RIP
Little fun fact about the late, great James Caan. He was an early front runner for the role of Scorpio in ‘Dirty Harry’. Can you imagine Eastwood and Caan in the same movie? My two favorites.
Misery is one of the greatest. ♥️ Rip.
A masterpiece
Omg the wooden block and sledge hammer scene was RUTHLESS
Actually I think ‘Brian’s Song’ lifted him to new heights before The Godfather did.
Misery is one my favorite movie of all time.
I watched this movie dozens of times and every time i get thrilled..

So very sorry for your loss!!!! He was a wonderful person and will be missed!!!!😢
Superb actor... I love him in Elf. He played the perfect tough guy opposite the adorable Will Ferrell. RIP
You have no clue what you’re talking about. Go look up the interviews he gave about Elf. He’s a complete and total JERK who hated the movie, hated and mocked Will Ferrel, and spent his life making everyone around him as miserable as possible. Thank god he’s gone.
Great actor. May God be with his family in this time.
RIP to another great actor/person.

Misery and Brian's song 2 of my favorite performances
RIP legend
I'll always remember him from Rollerball. RIP legend.
Nobody put out better stuff in the ‘70’s than James Caan.
One of the most Iconic actors of his time ! Rip James we all will miss you! Scott stay strong for the family ! Hawaii five O when your dad appeared was one of my favorite episodes!
A very sad day with the death of an extremely talented actor. He was great in both The Godfather and Misery.

Never been a actor who better portrayed the classic tough guy. Loved him in Thief directed by Michael Mann. Once heard Caan refer to it as his favorite role. RIP.

Nooooo!
One of my favorite actor. May he RIP
The godfather is my fave movie of all time. So sad he's gone 🙏
His best work was The Godfather, Misery, and Elf. RIP James Caan 1940-2022.
But no one is ALSO talking about Tony Sirico who died on July 7, 2022 at 79. He was in The Sopranos.
And now the other day Paul Sorvino, ‘Paulie Cicero’ from Goodfellas. He and Caan were both in The Gambler.
@@jogman262, yep. 😐 Coincidence.
I loved James Caan in "Misery". Excellent actor! RIP 🌺
James Caan rest in peace.
Rest in Peace Mr Caan, you have left a legacy of Great movies to ensure you will not be forgotten.
We've lost too many greats in the last few years. 😔
May You Greatly Rest In Peace James Caan 🙏
Rest in Peace 🙏 😔
RIP James Caan
He was a great voice actor of cloudy with a chance of meatballs 1&2

Mr.caan will always be the beloved football player Brian picolo in "Brians Song"to me and the scene where kathy bates hits him with a mallot in misery-I felt that pain for days-he was a great legend,l ray Liotta just left us-we are starting to loose the cinemas legends-making way for the younger ones coming up I guess....
My favorite actor in Honeymoon in Vegas..
FREEBIE & THE BEAN
I'd you haven't seen it, you're in for a treat ❤
Classic. That had to have been the first ‘Cop Buddy’ movie. Caan and Arkin.
@@jogman262 Definitely!
I love that movie. It always leaves me smiling.
Like Midnight Run
Great sense of humour and heart
Rip Jimmy Cann from the Godfather and the Elf movie 🎬
Rip James
RIP
My favorite role of his was in Misery.
My God, so many deaths in the last two weeks.
I think he could have had that one roll and lived the rest of his life as Sonny
Slowly losing all the best actors of all time hate getting old
hate the wording 'DEAD, AT...'. Seems so frank & final. He still lives on.
Loved him in misery and elf thankyou sweet dreams fabulous actor xxxxx🥰💟💯🌈✌🍹💐🎈🎀😥
His family must be embarrassed to reveal how he died imho or they would go public about it. Yes he was a great actor and played in a lot of good movies. May he RIP. He will be missed.
