Guys like James Caan and Ray Liotta can never be replaced-true character actors with such charisma

Rest in peace James. You were truly one of my favorite actors of all time, and a mighty performer

Can't imagine being some 20-something year old actor with almost no experience and being cast in El Dorado with John Wayne and Robert Mitchum. Caan did more than just hold his own, he was cocky, funny, confident and maybe that's why Wayne liked him. RIP James Caan.

His impersonation of John Wayne is 10/10. El Dorado is one of my all-time favorites, I watch it at least once every month and never get tired.

His performance in "A Bridge Too Far" was impressive.. A powerful presentation from a real actor among so many famous actors...RIP sir..

I am proud to say that I worked as a Wrangler for Rudy Ugland on the "Comes A Horseman" production set in Westcliffe, Colorado during the summer of 1977. The production company had 700 head of horned Herefords that were running over my father-in-law's (Jim Like) leased land. He got upset, and wanted compensation. Jim Like and I both got jobs as Wranglers on the "Comes A Horseman" movie set, which was quite an experience. One memory that I have from being a Wrangler on this movie set is when Jimmy Caan came up to me and said, "I never could rope!" My son had been born in February of that year, and my wife and I were on vacation from school. Jim Like was a nationally recognized rodeo cowboy, and I was just a lowly student at the time. That first-born son of mine, SFC Ronald Tanner Wood, was killed in the war in Iraq in 2005 at the age of 28. Memories are wonderful, but are hard to bear. -- Ron Wood, Sr., Gold Star Father

Sad to hear of the passing of this acting legend. Loved his work

Interrupting James Caan at the height of his story about the Duke. Brilliant. Just brilliant.

This interview was absolute GOLD. James Caan, icon.

I can't believe the interview STOPS at 2:51 -- right in the middle of James Caan's story, right at the high point. "You came too far forward..." Are you freaking kidding me??? Just let the man tell this awesome story -- and YOU figure out how to keep him in the shot. Unreal.

Caan swapping out a NY-"Fuhgeddaboudit" accent for Wayne's trademark "I ain't gonna hit ya" accent was a fun listen! Thank you for posting this interview.

Brian's Song, Still lump in throat, cry every time

Just what a cool dude mr James Caan is these old school actors and above all these old school people just can't be replaced!!! I was raised by my grandparents I'm 35 in the year 2021 and it sucks!!! Irish traveller UK

Caan doing the Chinese guy in El Dorado was priceless. It's edited out in most showings of the movie today. Christopher George was magnificent.

James Caan was a generational star who was a superb actor for over 50 years. He was also an American Original from the Big Apple. We will not see his like again.

Caan does the best impression of John Wayne ever!!

I would've loved to be in the same room with Charles Bronson and James Caan.

Cinderella Liberty, is James Caan at his best. His facial expressions, his timing, all superb!

If you were a kid in the 70's like I was, you grew up when toughness wasn't just an asset, it was a way of life. I watched the Bad News Bears the other night for the first time since I saw it in the theater, (my first year of little league) 1976, and other than team celebrating at the end with beer, it was pretty damn spot on for those days, and I'm glad I grew up in that era. Caan, Pacino, Clint, Dinero, Duvall etc are all going to be sorely missed when they're gone and all they brought to the big screen. A much under-rated film with James Caan and Jane Fonda is the 1978 movie "Comes A Horseman", and it's one of my favorites.

Love James Caan just a brilliant actor love the stories .

Fantastic story about John Wayne. Love it.

What a great Story. Two of the Best! RIP Ya'll

As Over The Years Growing Up, From The 1980's. I Have Seen So Many John Wayne '' The Duke '' Movies, To Listen To James Caan. Talk About Parts Him Working With John Wayne, In Movies. Was A Great Few Minutes, Listen To About Both Of These Classic Hollywood Actors.

Brilliant ! Ive watched this dozens of times over the last few years and it makes me laugh every time ! Thank you !

I love James Caan. He was great in all his movies, but the best movie he ever made was THIEF. I’ve watch that movie 50 times, and I still love it.

RIP JC…wonderful actor, great character. You will be missed!

JAMES CAAN IS THE LAST REMAINING MOVIE STAR IN THE WORLD. RESPECTED BY EVERYONE!

When you interrupted him, a Saloon sign ought to have hit you from above right away.

Just loved John Wayne. Loved all of his movies.

One of James Caan’s most underrated roles

love this guy! 1st movie I saw as a kid with him in it was freebie & the bean, think I was 9 loved it.

I could listen to James all day. A dying breed. 👍

I'm surprised he didn't bite his fist when the interviewer stopped him mid story

Caan is an excellent interviewee here - I'm riveted - now that I know it was John Landis doing the interviewing it explains everything - the interviewing is beyond embarrassing

Greetings From Florida 🌴 Fabulous interview!! Thank You for Sharing 👍

That was beautiful, thank you.

Had the pleasure of working with James (call me Jimmy) on one of his later films, a couple of years back. He did not suffer fools. (That's why we got along so well.) I'm almost shocked that he didn't give this guy hell, although there was that one suspicious cut...

Amazing stuff. They don't make them like him anymore

Love it, beautiful stories....classics really

Despite the interruptions, Caan tells great stories.

I'm thinking John Wayne treated actors the way John Ford treated him.

Thanks James can for sharing. Very cool

Greatest respect Mr. Caan. Loved you in "Thief".

Great actor& always sounded happy to tell the stories

Goddammit Sonny! You just can't be starting a war every time you have a disagreement!

I loved him in Las Vegas, That was such a great show!

Love James Caan. Last of the real classy old school actor.

Those story’s were hilarious lol 😂 🤣

I remember Suzanne Sommers said in an interview that James Caan was one of the nicest and most pleasant person to talk to.

Caan was the best. They say he could fit in anywhere and with anybody.

Wow. Legends, could have listed to this all day. Tomorrow too. RIP

"Sorry, I had a brain fart." I'm using that one at work. Love it!

I didn’t realize till now that James Caan played Mississippi in El Dorado! Such a good movie

Rest in Peace James Caan (1940-2022)

Life is tough, it's even tougher if you're stupid. John Wayne.

Superb actor unforgettable performances, simply awesome, irreplaceable best character actor.

The Duke was playing with James Caan just like Foghorn Leghorn did in the cartoon with the young Chickenhawk using him to taunt the Guard dog! Hilarious!

Wayne could see Caan was a good actor

The stories about The Duke screwing with him are hilarious--I love John Wayne! But the BEST part of this clip is seeing James' real temper begin to flare at Landis for not paying attention! LOL

I saw him in a recent film with Owen Wilson and Mr. Caan is just amazing. 👍🍸

Thanks for sharing.

I’m gonna miss him!

That's a good interview. I liked the ending.

I like James Caan, great actor..

James Caan was great in El Dorado. One of my top ten favorite movies. Great eye candy too with Charlene Holt and Michelle Carey. I saw the actual paintings that were used for the intro in a western museum in Phoenix Arizona. Painted by the guy who played the Swedish gunsmith in the movie.

RIP James Caan There goes the last person who was in the movie El Dorado. The film is not a masterpiece of cinema; but working with Hawks, Wayne and Mitchum is for few people.

I've seen El Dorado several times and it's one of my favorites

This man could act. See one of his early roles in "The Glory Guys". He was over the top as an Irishman. I can't believe he's gone, he will forever be the Hot Head Sonny Corleone, Brother of Al Pacino/Michael Corleone in the Godfather. ... and, He also played a great Casino Exec in the Vegas Series. He was just a hip, cool, accomplished man. (... and he was Hot!).

Jimmy Caan what a loss for us great great actor!

Bought some 20 John Wayne westerns in dvd this week....and then this turns up......not that a phone isn't spying on you or anything..... 🤣 El dorado is among them, so young Caan is in it too.....and Mitchum.....can't go wrong there. Good old entertainment nothing woke....love it!

"Over the mountains of the Moon, through the valley of the shadows,ride pony ride till you find El Dorado" John Wayne AMERICAN!

John Wayne is and always will be the Greatest.

Jimmy Caan was an awesome actor! RIP Mississippi!

Wayne is the best So is Rickles So is Caan All class acts I will pray for America. Please pray for me. God Bless you.

This was GOLD😂😂

Both great inEl dorado ,one of my FAVOURITE cowboy movies

A Bridge Too Far; you were and are awesome.

Thanks for Sharing ......

loved him as Ed Deline in Las Vegas. RIP to a legend

He is such an actor

R.I.P Jimmy, great performer in some great movies..

"A piece of work"....sums up Wayne pretty well i'd bet. Thanks for posting

As an Englishman, I am getting good at NY accents, I went for Bronx, and low and behold. Great Actor RIP

James Caan very good actor

Caan and Wayne. Wow!!!!!

James Caan is a legend

RIP JAMES, another piece of work wink

This story was most definitely worth hearing

El Dorado (1966) was a great Western and James Caan as “Mississippi” was perfect for that role!

James Caan does a fabulous John Wayne impersonation . Xcellent

I could watch about an hour of this

Eldorado is one of my favorites, John Wayne, Robert Mitchem and James Cann, fantastic cast. Let's not forget the Christmas classic ELF 😂

F'n CLASSIC!!

EL Dorado is one of my favorite westerns! Great cast, decent storyline, just a fabulous flick to curl up and watch on a rainy evening!

I love the story Mr Caan tells. You can tell he loved it, and how much joy he had working with John Wayne and Howard Hawks. Thank you for sharing this.

I met James Caan. He came into my office in Beverly Hills. I was blown away, but he was a down to earth guy. He was honored to have a photo taken with me. No better person than him.

I Love ElDorado. One of The best westerns. I never get tired of watching Mr. Caan, Mr. Wayne and Mr. Mitchum together. Those three men worked so well together. They were quite the trio. A true classic.

James Caan - no matter how famous he is - he is still underrated - Absolutely amazing in every thing he ever did. His kind of talent interpersonal intelligence and panosh - very rare. He would make every guy my age smile if he would do another feature film. Thanks for sharing.

Mr. Caan, I want to Thank You for being an "Actor", and not a "star". You have a talent that few men have. And, thanks for working with the Duke and Mitchum. You were perfect.

Love this guy. Great actor. Love his acting. Love his voice.
