James Caan, best know for playing tough guy roles like Sonny Corleone in “The Godfather” and Frank in “Thief,” has died. Caan was 82.
The Oscar-nominated performer’s other memorable roles include “Misery,” “Brian’s Song” and “Elf”.
Big loss. A legend. For me his role in Brian’s Song was his best performance.
RIP James :(
Funny how long ago Brian's Song was and I think it was a mere made-for-TV movie. So many people were so moved by such a simply told tale. Just remarkable.
Also a shout out to Billy Dee Williams for his role as Gale Sayers and the great career he's also enjoyed.

Very sad news. He was awesome! So many great classic performances!

shareIf you get the over-the-air and cable channel, DECADES, they are airing his interviews on The Dick Cavett Show at 9 PM ET and 9:30 PM ET, Parts 1 & 2 from January 12, 1982. He talks about how he turned down the lead in Superman and directed "Hide in Plain Sight."
