RIP James Caan.

Funny, warm, self-deprecating, and effortlessly talented.

He inspired everyone who has ever been in front of a camera.

I was lucky to work with him and see his talent and his fantastic sense of humor firsthand.

He was a great training partner in the gym and a true friend, and Ill miss him.

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?

RIP

My second acting job was w@James_Caan.

He was so much fun.

From that moment on he always had my back.

Jimmy, I treasure every second Go with God.

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.

My deepest condolences to his family and loved ones.

James Caan always had the funniest stories.

He brought a pathos and authenticity to the role of Tim Lockwood that held the film together.

If youve never seen his performance in Brians Song, give a shot to find it.

One of the great tearjerkers.
