Was such a cool guy. I liked him in many roles, but one of my favorites was in the tv series Vegas. RIP
Sad news. R.I.P.
When I heard the news today, my first thought was his role as Brian Piccolo in "Brian's Song".

This is one of my favorite of his roles. It's a great movie though one of the saddest I've ever seen.
I thought Misery was his best!
Damn it. There goes another one. As an occasional punter I loved 'The Gambler' and as an aspiring writer I was terrified by 'Misery'. A great, and very overlooked, actor.
It was said, don't know the source, that he was his own worst enemy when it came to sellecting movie projects. If true, he didn't select many bad roles. I think he just wanted to cover the costs of his calf roping career. He reportedly said he loved the rodeos. If true, well, just another reason to admire him. A man should have a job he loves. Two is even better, acting and roping.
I first saw him in Rollerball when I watched it on video in the 1980's. Loved him in Misery and of course The Godfather.
RIP??
RIP??
He was in lot of movies that have aged very well over the year. Hated his perm though. R.I.P.
Loved him as Allan Bourdillion Trahern (aka Mississippi) in El Dorado (1967). RIP.
My first memory of him was in "Journey To Shiloh" which I saw one Saturday afternoon at the theater when I was 9 or 10 years old. Didn't see a lot of his other films until I was much older and many had been out for some time by then, but for some reason he made an impression. By contrast, Harrison Ford was in that movie, lol, and years later when I saw "Star Wars" I had no idea I'd seen him in anything before.
FWIW, "Thief" "The Gambler" "The Godfather" "Comes A Horseman" "Brian's Song" - my favorite Caan movies.

Those of you who want a quick overview of the Viet Nam War and how it impact on the US really should watch "Gardens of Stone." Not one battle scene in country but,a rather concise view of the turmoil caused in the US. For some here it'll break your heart.
Caan, Angelica Huston and James Earl Jones all turn in sterling performances. For me it is Caan's best role and performance. A sadly under viewed movie deserving of more.
