Great actor, sad news.

I'm younger and watched Elf about a million times without knowing who he was. Saw Thief in 35mm and he was amazing

James Caan was iconic as an actor - very prolific.

Terrific actor; some of the roles he played (Sonny Corleone in The Godfather, and his role in Misery) were nothing short of superlative.

RIP; sorry that he is no longer with us.
