I'm also from New York City like James Caan and he was a childhood hero of mine. He was one of the most talented and charismatic actors in film history. I'm proud to say that I got to speak to him and get his autograph on a couple of my collectible Godfather books, thanks to his son Jimmy. He was a first-class class gentleman and an appreciative as well as humble individual when I spoke to him. Ironically, he was born in NYC like me and was buried in Mission Hills, CA where I once lived and grew up. My sweet mother passed away in Mission Hills. RIP Mr. Caan. You were one of the greatest of all time!

I’m glad you mentioned “Thief”. That’s one of my top 10 coolest movies of all time. You may recall that Willy Nelson also had a part in that film as Caan’s mentor and father-figure.

Loved James Caan in Brian’s Song and Godfather. I have those two movies in my movie recordings. He did the part of Brian Piccolo so well that I had almost forgotten how the real Brian Piccalo looked like. I even thought he had died during those five years he left show business. That’s how believable he was in his roles. Thank you Jordan as always for narrating his life so beautifully. ❤🙏💐⭐

Thank you for this visit. James Caan was one of those stars who, the moment he appeared on screen, stole the show. A really powerful actor. Although we have watched most of his movies, It wasn't until you started listing them that we realized the scale and volume of his work. This was a great tribute Jordan.

Rollerball (1975) with John Houseman was one of my favorites next to Misery. I remember walking to the local movie theater with a cousin of mine to see it and having to call my mom to get approval to be let in since it was rated R.

One of my favs I think was in the late sixties or early seventies, believe it was called Roller Ball, on scene was a crazy party and they were shooting trees with something that blew them up and burned, based around roller derby I believe James was an incredible actor, had a huge crush on him.
