Damn... what a downer.

I loved James Caan in movies. He was perfect as Sonny Corleone in The Godfather, and I was sad when he was killed off there, too.

He was the quintessential bad guy, who could pull off the occasional comedy, as when he played a Mafioso dad in "Mickey Blue Eyes."

Damn... I'm gonna miss that guy. R.I.P., James. My thoughts and prayers to his family.
