Rollerball was a gem in the rough (and more sophisticated than it seems). I totally recommend it.

Farewell, Mr. Caan. RIP.

Is he the only actor from the godfather to be in an Anime?. I do know that Hollywood legend Orson Welles was in an Anime in the 80s.

Such a talented actor, and it's cool he got one anime credit. May he rest in peace.

Jessica DiCicco had a small part in The Godfather Part III. She's done voices for Demon Slayer, Yashahime, and Unlimited Blade Works.

Orson Welles was in Transformers: The Movie, which... I GUESS could be considered anime, but the film was funded by American producers, even though the actual animation took place in Japan. It's as much "anime" as Jem & the Holograms and G.I. Joe.

People forget that he openly admitted to being a Trump supporter, watching only Fox News and nothing else, and was "ultra-conservative" (re: radical right) in his beliefs.

Keep that in mind that, despite his amazing career as an actor, he turned out to be a pretty disappointing person in the end.

I'll admit I didn't see a lot of James Caan's work but still,it's sad to see him go. He was pretty good as an actor and I think his legacy will outshine any personal flaws some people may see.
RIP Mr. Caan. I hope you enjoy heaven. Sad

Agreed; like can you not?

People being on different political sides doesn't mean they deserve death. What an awful post. also not everybody on here thinks conservatives are bad people cough cough

It's tough to swallow something like this, especially when he played Elf's dad Crying or Very sad

It really is. I loved his movies, but seeing folks actively fall for that crap is bad. Doesn't matter who it is.

Oh no, not that. I can't remember the title, I just know he voiced a bird in it.

Nothing at all. Just because someone passes away, doesn't mean we can't point out bad things about them.
