Talk:James Caan

message: There appears to be a conflict with Caan's date of birth.  IMDb reports 1940, NNDB 1939.  Does anyone have any additional sources they could cite so that this may be resolved?  Hall Monitor 18:24, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Born 1939 or 1940?

message: I've seen the episodes of The Simpsons and Family Guy where Caan is mentioned: having him appear at the "Playdude treehouse," appearing as a womanizer in The Simpsons episode All's Fair in Over War and the episode of Family Guy where he punches the bunny - does anyone have infromation on his personal life that can explain why they portrayed him like this is those episodes? I was wondering if he's a regular at the playboy mansion or has a criminal history, something to explain the portrayals. JW 23:27, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Comment on rating for assessment as a biography {{anchor|Biography assessment rating comment}} 

message: Around the time he became interested in acting, James Caan was brought by the Rabbino family to spend a summer as a counselor at their summer Camp Onibar in the Poconos, Pennsylvania. Caan  quickly became a favorite at the camp, and earned the name "Supe" for Superman; he could open bottles with his teeth, and was seen swinging from a pulley by his teeth down a rope suspended from the ceiling of the social hall.  
The Rabbinos had lifelong contacts to the NY theater business and others like Penny Marshall and Marvin Hamlish were brought to the camp where they enjoyed the country while writing songs for camp color war and other events.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.39.104.246 (talk) 01:03, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Early Years 

message: No mention in this article of Caan's tenure as a pro Rodeo rider in the early 1970's. Seems worth a mention.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.51.132.32 (talk) 15:36, 17 September 2009
* With verification, i agree. This serious performing job is quite in contrast with what, AFA we can tell, is likely to have been an #Early Years fun summer gig that happened to include some amateur-hour stuff quite detached from his developing or impending career.--Jerzy•t 03:26, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Early Life 

message: An IP said he/she saw Caan playing a part in Bonanza Season 1, Episode 13 "Vendetta", which aired in 1959. While Caan does not appear in the episode credits, nor in IMDB's list of uncredited appearances, I wanted to forward the question here in case someone more knowledgeable about Caan knew better than me. After all, it would appear the 1961 start of Caan's career isn't really sourced. —/Mendaliv/2¢/Δ's/ 19:35, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

> In 1977, Caan rated several of his movies out of ten – The Godfather (10), Freebie and the Bean (4), Cinderella Liberty (8), The Gambler (8), Funny Lady (9), Rollerball (8), The Killer Elite (5), Harry and Walter Go to New York (0), Slither (4), A Bridge Too Far (7), and Another Man Another Chance (10). He also liked his performances in The Rain People and Thief.
=== > 1980s ===
> Caan had a role in Claude Lelouch's Les Uns et les Autres (1981), which was popular in France, and won the Technical Grand Prize at the 1984 Cannes Film Festival.  In Hollywood, Caan appeared in the neo-noir film Thief (1981), directed by Michael Mann, in which he played a professional safe cracker.
Thanks, and I hope that helps :)
