Wonderful as Sonny.

Agree.. great performance among so many in that film. My other favourite performance of his was in 'Cinderella Liberty' with Marsha Mason..

I'm a Godfather fan. That's very sad news. 82 is good form

He was always my favourite dragon.

RIP.

No coincidence. Nazim copied his new name from the original.

I remember in the Main Stand watching a derby match, and some fellow blue shouting “Get back to Alien Nation!” to one of the united
players. I’m pretty sure it was to one of their full backs. It just springs to mind for some reason, as obviously AN was a film Caan starred in.

In terms of his career, Rollerball and Thief would be the two obvious high points.

Don’t know much about his biog, but apparently he loved and lived life to the full.
