James Caan R.I.P.

What a career. I mean hothead Sonny Corleone is brilliance. As what he did in "Misery" Some say it wasn't too far from his personality. But it's hard to gauge James Caan other than to say, he wasn't traditionally handsome but still had an amazing career. That is what is missing in cinema. Real dudes who look like dudes. I recall many stories of his furious behavior. Hard cocaine lifestyle. The guy hung out at the Playboy mansion. So it wasn't like he was a saint. But, that was when men could be men. I suspect as he got older, he suffered less fools. Especially in interviews. He played a lot of strange roles as well. The villain in "Eraser" comes to mind. He was an oddball that Hollywood will miss. Or don't know they will miss. He was 82 and lived a pretty damn cool life leaving an awesome legacy. Perhaps he was the Steve McQueen predecessor.
