James Caan’s career in “The Godfather”

The first time James Caan was in front of the cameras as an actor was with “Games” and eight films later he ended up as Sonny Corleone in “The Godfather” by Fracis Ford Coppola, his big leap to stardom that catapulted him to Hollywood until he was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. Since that film, he has gradually been seen in other great productions that have made him a name in the world of cinema and television.

‘Cinderella Liberty’, ‘Rollerball’, ‘Harry and Walter Go to New York’, ‘A Bridge Too Far’, ‘Comes A Horseman’ and ‘Chapter Two’ were some of the films that came after ‘The Godfather’ and with which many people began to recognize his work. Thus becoming one of the most popular of his time.

Later came other big hits like Paul Sheldon’s ‘Misery’, and then another like ‘Miel Luna para Tres’, in which he shared the lead role with Sarah Jessica Parker and Nicolas Cage; and, of course, ‘Eraser’, where he starred opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger. Films that made him even more popular at the time.

Among the latest films he has starred in are “Elf”, “Lluvia de Hamburguesas”, “A Fighting Man” and “Undercover Grandpa”, the latter of which came out in 2017 and was his last work as an actor. Five years after his last work in front of the cameras, the actor is dead and leaves all this great career in the world of American cinema and television.
