Mr. Caan ended up playing Sonny, quick to anger and ultimately gunned down on a causeway. He threw himself into the role so fully that for years, he said, strangers would say things to him like “Hey, don’t go through that tollbooth again.”

Some even mistook him for a real mobster. “I’ve been accused so many times,” he told Vanity Fair in 2004. “I won ‘Italian of the Year’ twice in New York, and I’m not Italian.”

A Bronx native, he starred in countless movies and TV shows, but was most closely identified with the volatile character Sonny Corleone.

He received an Emmy for Brians Song.

I forgot about that one.

That bumps Honeymoon in Vegas.

RIP 'Santino'
He certainly had one helluva career. Ironically his range may have kept him from achieving an iconic sort of status and yet he provided an iconic character to three separate generations...

One more thing about Larry Storch, which I didn’t know until reading his bio. He went to high school with, and remained close friends with until the death of … Don Adams.

And as I failed to do so before in this thread, Z”L to The Bronx’ favorite Jewish cowboy, James Caan

"Chief, name changed, we go commando?"

"We already go commando, Stupid!"

"But we dress different for powwow?"

"Forget it, I root for Patriots now!"
