James Caan has Passed Away | Godfather Actor and Hollywood Legend Remembered James Caan, whose indelible, Oscar-nominated performance as Sonny Corleone, the recklessly hotheaded son of Marlon Brando’s Mafia don in “The Godfather,” is sure to be remembered as long as there are gangster movies, died on Wednesday, his family announced on Twitter. He was 82. “It is with great sadness that we inform you of the passing of Jimmy on the evening of July 6,” the tweet reads. “The family appreciates the outpouring of love and heartfelt condolences and asks that you continue to respect their privacy during this difficult time.” Caan also had notable roles in films including “Misery,” “Elf,” “Thief,” “Godfather Part II,” “Brian’s Song” and “The Gambler.” Sonny’s violent end in Francis Ford Coppola’s “The Godfather” — riddled, as he is, with dozens of bullets — is one of the most memorable scenes in a film filled with them. Caan initially auditioned for the role of Michael, the college-educated war-hero son who would ultimately become don, and the studio, Paramount, supported this casting for a time; Al Pacino was cast as Michael and Caan as Sonny as part of a complex compromise between Paramount and Coppola. Caan was riding high on the success of TV weepie “Brian’s Song,” in which he played the dying football player Brian Piccolo alongside Billy Dee Williams as Piccolo’s best friend, Gale Sayers, when he was cast in “The Godfather.” “Brian’s Song” won a number of Emmys, including outstanding single program — drama or comedy, and Caan was nominated for his performance. The actor had earlier starred for Coppola in the director’s odd little road movie “The Rain People” (1969), in which Caan played a brain-damaged hitchhiker. But as his career progressed over the decades, Caan would repeatedly essay characters with a penchant for violence. In addition to “The Godfather,” Caan’s signature films from the 1970s include Mark Rydell’s “Cinderella Liberty” (1973), in which he played a sailor in love with a hooker; Karel Reisz’s 1974 “The Gambler,” in which he played a man with a serious gambling addiction; Sam Peckinpah actioner “The Killer Elite” (1975), a story of CIA assassins that reunited him with Duvall; musical romantic comedy “Funny Lady” (also 1975), with Barbra Streisand and Omar Sharif; Norman Jewison’s satirical, dystopian sci-fi drama “Rollerball,” in which he played a popular athlete in a violent sport based on roller derby but often ending in death; Alan J. Pakula’s Western romance “Comes a Horseman,” in which Caan starred with Jane Fonda and Jason Robards; and the Neil Simon-penned “Chapter Two,” in which a seemingly uncomfortable Caan was essentially a stand-in for Simon in the story of how he got together with second wife Marsha Mason — played in the film by Marsha Mason. In between the last two films, Caan directed his only movie, “Hide in Plain Sight,” about a blue-collar worker, played by Caan, whose ex-wife gets remarried to a mobster, who sings to the cops, resulting in the relocation of the couple along with the children through the witness relocation program, leaving Caan’s character with no idea where his kids are. The film, which was released in 1980, was based on a true and certainly compelling story, and the actor’s performance was applauded, but critical reaction was summed up in Variety’s review: “‘Hide in Plain Sight’ has some of the makings of a good, honest film. But in his directorial debut, James Caan never musters the energy or emotion needed to break the unbearably slow, dismal tone.” The next year he starred in Michael Mann’s stylish but also substantive actioner “Thief.” Roger Ebert described the layers in his character this way: “Caan sees himself as a completely independent loner. But we see him differently, as a lonely, unloved kid who is hiding out inside an adult body.” In 1987, after an absence from the screen of five years, Caan worked for Coppola again in “Gardens of Stone,” starring as a sergeant overseeing military burials at Arlington National Cemetery during Vietnam, but the film was something of a mess and the Washington Post described the actor’s performance as “honorable.” Caan next took a turn into sci-fi with a helping of social satire in “Alien Nation,” whose backstory involved the integration of aliens (the outer space kind) into human society. Caan played a no-bullshit cop with a hatred for the aliens. James Edmund Caan was born in the Bronx. He attended Michigan State U. (where he played football) and Hofstra U. His classmates at the latter included Francis Ford Coppola. He studied at New York’s Neighborhood Playhouse School of Theater under Sanford Meisner. He was married and divorced four times, to Dee Jay Mattis, Sheila Ryan, Ingrid Hajek and Linda Stokes. He is survived by daughter Tara A. Caan, by Mattis; son Scott, an actor, by Ryan; son Alexander James Caan by Hajek; and sons James Arthur Caan and Jacob Nicholas Caan by Stokes. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gjy5QhiLRro
