He was Will Ferrell's earth father in Elf, Emmy nominated in Brian's Song, and known from The Godfather.

Sad news. He was also wonderful in Misery with Kathy Bates... He will be missed...

R,I.P. Mr. Caan.

My favorite Caan movie, Rollerball.

Rest in peace.

Everyone is going to remember him from The Godfather and/or maybe Rollerball, but I liked him in the TV show Las Vegas.

He also made the reboot of Hawaii Five-O better, which is saying something, considering how much I despise the reboot. (Not a fan of the original, but I don't despise it.)

Yes Rest In Peace, James

Loved him in Brian's Song and El Dorado with John Wayne. Years ago, I saw him in person at the Phoenix Jaycees Rodeo of Rodeos, he was team roping. He was quite a good guy.

Very sad!

I just saw him in " Queen bees" . That must have been his last acting role ! May he rest in peace .

If you've never seen the 1974 movie The Gambler, that's a must see for one of his films along with Thief.
