IUFLA Posted July 7, 2022 Report Share Posted July 7, 2022 His best work was as Sonny Corleone in "The Godfather" I always thought. I read somewhere that he wanted the part of Michael, and even screen tested for it. But I guess Coppola knew what he was doing... I can picture him beating Carlo with a trash can lid...RIP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUFLA Posted July 7, 2022 Report Share Posted July 7, 2022 I watched an episode of "Combat!" (my favorite TV show as a kid) not too long ago, and a young James Caan was a guest star as a German soldier... I think it was from like 1963...So he had to be around 23 or so.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
