Sylvester Stallone is paying tribute to his late friend James Caan. The 76-year-old Golden Globe winner joined the tributes to his “good friend” Caan on Friday, sending a statement and some cherished throwback photographs on Instagram after the Godfather star died on Wednesday at the age of 82. “James Caan, my good friend, and great actor, will be missed!” Tough, intelligent, and a man’s man. “A one-of-a-kind!” The post was captioned by Stallone.
In 2005, he and Caan appeared onscreen together for the first time in season 2 of NBC’s Las Vegas, in which Caan played Ed Deline. They both recently appeared in the documentary Chuck Zito: An American Story. Caan’s death was revealed on his verified Twitter account on Thursday. His cause of death was not immediately disclosed.
“It is with great sadness that we inform you of Jimmy’s passing on the evening of July 6,” stated the statement. “The family appreciates the outpouring of love and heartfelt condolences and requests that their privacy be respected during this difficult time.” “Tweet finished.” Caan’s on-screen career spanned six decades, with major performances including The Godfather (1972), Misery (1990), and Elf (2003). Brian’s Song (1971), Cinderella Liberty (1973), The Gambler (1974), Rollerball (1975), Dick Tracy (1990), Bottle Rocket (1996), and Eraser (1996) are among his other credits.
Rest in Peace.
