RIP James Caan

[Kirby]

James Caan passed away today - I loved him in The Godfather, Elf, Misery, and the original version of Rollerball. My favorite was the pseudo gangster in Honeymoon in Vegas.
Thanks Mr. Caan, you gave us a lot of great entertainment.

James Caan played a lot of parts in many films and TV shows over a long career - and usually shined in all of them (even when the show was....meh otherwise).

And - remember who wrote for Get Smart - Mel Brookes and Buck Henry...

"Thief" and "Rollerball" are by far my favorite performances of his. I would also recommend "The Killer Elite" directed by Sam Peckinpah and reunited with his "Godfather" co-star Robert Duvall.

Loved The Godfather, Misery, Honeymoon in Vegas, Elf...but he'll always be Brian Piccolo to me.



RIP

Damn you! I have a pavlovian response to Brian's Song...

Damn you! I have a pavlovian response to Brian's Song...

If you don’t, you’re dead inside.

Pierce Brosnan released a couple of pictures of him and Caan taken on the set of what will be Caan's last movie:
