Misery, Thief Gambler and of course The Godfather.
What a stellar career.

Outside of the Godfathers, my fave of his is "Rollerball".

RIP

Did you know that in the 1980s movie PREDATOR the titular character was not originally portrayed by Kevin Peter Hall. It was in fact Jean-Claude Van Damme donning a much more insect inspired full body suit before he left the production which then led to the recasting and redesigning of the famous hunter.

My sister said he had Alzheimer's. Not sure if true.

It was enough of a shock that the creator of Yu-Gi-Oh died. Yikes...

Elf, The Way of the Gun, Bottle Rocket, Thief, Freebie and the Bean, The Killer Elite. So many good memories.

RIP Mr. Caan.

Watch "Thief" if you haven't already.

Wonderfully charismatic actor who at one point became a paycheck actor for awhile but then started picking smart projects again. I don't think he ever outdid his Oscar-nominated performance in The Godfather, but I also loved him in Elf, Misery (severely underrated performance), For the Boys, Funny Lady, Kiss Me Goodbye and especially Honeymoon in Vegas. I plan to watch The Gambler before the week is out. RIP

Straight Talk Interview at age 81.

R.I.P. tough guy.

Man, this hits hard! Always loved this guy in whatever he was in. Everyone has mentioned a lot of his great performances. I loved him in Freebie and the Bean, El Dorado, Brian's Song, Funny Lady (thought he stole the movie from Streisand), Games, Elf, Misery, and of course The Godfather. I still need to see Thief and The Gambler and so many others. Godspeed, James!
