Refresh for updates… Hollywood is mourning the loss of one of its greatest: James Caan is being remembered today as one of the best actors of his generation. “Team Mates and friends till the end,” tweeted Billy Dee Williams, who co-starred with Caan in the 1971 TV-movie classic Brian’s Song . “RIP Jimmy.

” Williams included what appears to be a recent photo of the two. Barbra Streisand, who co-starred with Caan in 1975’s Funny Lady , wrote, “I’m so sorry to hear about Jimmy. He was so talented.

” In a statement, Misery director Rob Reiner said, “I was so saddened to hear about Jimmy leaving us. I loved working with him. Besides being a talented instinctive actor, he was the only Jew I knew who could rope a calf with the best of them.

Sending my love to his family. ” Related Story James Caan Dies: ‘The Godfather’ Oscar Nominee & ‘Brian’s Song’ Star Was 82 Hollywood & Media Deaths In 2022: Photo Gallery Director James Gunn tweeted his favorite Caan movies – The Godfather films “at the very top” – and actor Jon Lovitz recalled a particular kindness Caan once showed him when the star agreed to a cameo in a TV special (and brought along a special guest as well).

https://t. co/RxX96emJuZ — ICE T (@FINALLEVEL) July 7, 2022 James Caan always had the funniest stories. Once he told me Coppola had the habit of grabbing food off his plate & eating it, so one day he made a sandwich with very hot jalapeños between two pieces of buttered bread, & waited outside Coppola’s airstream… — Jennifer Tilly (@JenniferTilly) July 7, 2022 RIP .

Wonderful actor https://t. co/dUQruwDZgD — John Cusack (@johncusack) July 7, 2022 I once passed James Caan in the commissary at Paramount Pictures. He looked me over in my Data makeup and uniform and uttered just one word, “Working?” Honored.

RIP to a real one. https://t. co/6sNDLyOwHX — James Urbaniak (@JamesUrbaniak) July 7, 2022 Rest In Peace James Caan.

There are so many movies of his I love, The Godfather films of course being at the very top, but here are a few more I adore (Thief in particular was a Gunn family classic – I had the poster on my wall in high school). 🙏❤️ pic. twitter.

com/mhrtGMzB0S — James Gunn (@JamesGunn) July 7, 2022 Well, this just sucks about James Caan. I was lucky enough to work with him & be friends. Always a fun guy to be around.

He was always supportive of my career. He even did a cameo in my tv special and got Robert Duvall to be in it. A highlight of my career.

God bless James Caan. — Jon Lovitz (@realjonlovitz) July 7, 2022 Hollywood saw James Caan as a tough guy. There was so much more underneath that tough exterior.

He had tremendous empathy as was shown in his extraordinary performance as Sonny Corleone. I always felt he would die for love. RIP https://t.

co/xa6p9WZcty — Michael Des Barres (@MDesbarres) July 7, 2022 RIP James Caan, 82. Brilliant actor – loved him as Sonny Corleone in The Godfather, such a ferocious, menacing, magnificent performance. Met him once at a party in LA and he was a very funny & highly entertaining man.

Sad news. pic. twitter.

I loved getting in the ring with him. RIP #jamescaan #actor #respect pic. twitter.

He was super chill, a proper cool dude on top of being one of the Hollywood greats. #jamescaan pic. twitter.
