Actor James Caan has died at the age of 82.<\/p>\n

The star of The Godfather and Misery passed away on Wednesday (6th July 2022) after a long and celebrated career in Hollywood.<\/p>\n

Caan had been nominated for four Golden Globes, an Oscar and an Emmy award and brought to life some iconic characters, not least Sonny Corleone for which he received his Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor.<\/p>\n

Speaking after Caan\u2019s death, The Godfather and The Rain People director Francis Ford Coppola commented to Deadline:<\/a> \u201cJimmy was someone who stretched through my life longer and closer than any motion picture figure I\u2019ve ever known.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom those beginning times working on The Rain People, throughout all the milestones of my life.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis films and the many great roles he played will never be forgotten. Old friend from Sunnyside, collaborator and one of the funniest people I\u2019ve ever known.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Caan\u2019s Funny Lady co-star Barbra Streisand tweeted<\/a> a photo of the two of them and noted: \u201cI\u2019m so sorry to hear about Jimmy. He was so talented.\u201d<\/p>\n

Finally, The Godfather star Al Pacino commented in a statement: \u201cJimmy was my fictional brother and my lifelong friend. It\u2019s hard to believe that he won\u2019t be in the world any more because he was so alive and daring. A great actor, a brilliant director and my dear friend. I\u2019m gonna miss him.\u201d<\/p>\n

In light of Caan\u2019s sad passing, we\u2019ve gathered a list of some of the actor\u2019s most beloved films to enjoy.<\/p>
