www.foxnews.com/entertainment/godfather-james-caan-dead 'Godfather' star James Caan dead at 82, family saysJames Caan has passed away. "It is with great sadness that we inform you of the passing of Jimmy on the evening of July 6," the family wrote in a tweet shared Thursday. "The family appreciates the outpouring of love and heartfelt condolences and asks that you continue to respect their privacy during this difficult time." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Underrated tough guy who played in some unusual and challenging films outside of "The Godfather", most notably Michael Mann's criminally ignored "Thief", the 70's dystopian "Rollerball" and of course "Misery", which is probably his best role in terms of acting. Another of the founders passes, as we slowly drift from greatness into whatever the fuck THIS is.

Just read this while listening to the theme from AMERICAN SNIPER - what great hero music to be listening to when learning the bad news. One of the all time greats, he was one of a kind. From standing toe to toe with Duke Wayne in EL DORADO when Caan had just broke into Hollywood, to BRIAN'S SONG (I dare you not to cry), to GODFATHER, he was great in everything he was in. And by all accounts, he never became a jackass. RIP Mississippi

Not the whole thing - they remade it, I think w/ Staham. It's kinda fun, it was a little ahead of the whole "Ninja" thing that swept the US in the early 80's. It's really funny to hear them make reference to it. This dude is in it: Bo Hopkins, who only very recently passed away, a dude who always seemed to play psychos.
