After breaking the news, Francis Ford Coppola, who first directed him on “It Rains on My Heart” before casting him as Sonny Corleone, released a statement to Deadline: “Jimmy was someone who went through my life longer and closer than any movie character I’ve ever met. From those early days that I worked together on “It Rains on My Heart”, and through all the milestones in my life, his films and the many great roles he played will never be forgotten. She will always be my old friend from Sunnyside, my co-worker and one of the funniest people I’ve ever met. “
The medium also contacted his co-stars in “The Godfather”. Robert De Niro reminded him with a simple: “It saddens me a lot to know that Jimmy is dead”; but Al Pacino has extended something more: “Jimmy was my imaginary brother and lifelong friend. It’s hard to believe he won’t be in the world anymore because he was so alive and bold. A great actor, a brilliant director and a dear friend of mine. I will miss him. “

“What a terrible and tragic loss. Jimmy was not only a great actor with total commitment and an entrepreneurial spirit, but he had a vitality at the center of his being that drove everything from his art and friendship to athletics and good times. C ‘it was a core of values within him about what people should be like, more or less. It could be variable, the corners could be rounded with urban irony, but there was a line and it wasn’t expendable. And he gave us a lot of anecdotes. outrageous and hilarious I loved him and loved working with him. He came to the core of his being during difficult personal times to be the rebellious, half-savage, institutionalized outcast, Frank, in my first film, “Thief”. Frank is half Frank, half Jimmy. The character and the man, like his Sonny in “The Godfather”, were made for each other. Unique. What a waste. Michele Mann “.
