I was a bartender and met Mr. Caan. I've met a lot of celebs where I worked, and he was one of the nicest people I ever met. What a cool guy. And we spoke about Scott. He was so proud of Scott. I'm sure Scott will never read this, but if anyone who knows him does, tell him his dad spoke to me about him with such pride.
@@monitor4728 The bar manager had a very strict rule, make sure at least half the drinks we made went to the guests. So I admittedly don't remember as much as I should. Crazy times. I bet serving you that drink was fun though. Haha
I met your father at a car wash. He was such a flirt but he was just being nice. I fell in love with him when I was a little girl. It was really cool meeting him. One highlight of my life. He was very respectful.
In probably the 2nd season of Hawaii Five-O (and the rest of the run of the series), he started playing Danno as James Caan. If you go back and watch those episodes, he was just imitating his Dad. Spot on too. Danno was easily my favorite character on the show, and Scott Caan usually plays roles that steal the show. He's an underrated actor for sure.
Duvall talked about Cann shortly after his death. He said they used to call him "all state" because he could pickup anything. A baseball bat, a golf club a basketball and handle it like a pro. Great actor. At his peak he displayed an intensity rarely seen on screen.
Scott Caan was always my number one choice to play Wolverine after Hugh retired that role. Because all Scott needed to do is just get a little more jacked and grow the beard in the hair and he would be the perfect wolverine because he’s short like wolverine is in the comics and Harry. And he has that square chin. And on top of that, he’s a great actor.
There’s that great anecdote James Caan told where he mentioned how his own father was cold and distant and never told him he loved him and he said he made sure that he would never do that if he ever had a son, and how he would cherish him, and he always told Scott all the time how much he loved him.
By the 1970s, Dads were allowed in the delivery room to witness their child's birth. So James would have been lucky in that respect. He already had a daughter, but she was born in 1964, so he would have to wait outside.
Senior was one of my very favorite actors. Talking about his 15 surgeries, i made a career in the military. When you are young you feel like you are invincible and can do everything. When you get older you pay for thinking that way. I will be 75 this year and have had 45 major surgeries, kidney failure 4 times, 4 widow maker heart attacks and cancer about a dozen times. I am rated 100% disabled and i still enjoy traveling around the world.
I read in an interview once he couldn't stand being famous for "buddy's dad" to this generation, he was a dirt bike riding, playboy mansion living, hustler - but to kids, he's "buddy's dad" LOL
The way he talks about his father sounds like James was a type of savant, being naturally good at everything he got himself into. Also I love his healthy perspective on his parents. Their approach worked for him as with another kid, more sensitive or just with a different personality, it could have been damaging. As I hear stories from my generations of kids, growing up in the 70s and 80s, I see parenting was in a transition period from extremely strict on the way to overly sensitive and permissive as it is now. We are slowly learning that a single approach even within a family, does not always work. You could have exact same parenting style with 5 of your kids and each would turn out different. Some would thrive and others would have long term psychological issues and even trauma. Most of us deep inside know what's right and wrong or good and bad (with shades of grey of course). Depending on how you were brought up and in what kind of environment you lived, that sense can get skewed or confused, but if you are really honest with yourself and don't have serious mental issues, you know/feel when you are doing something that is bad for you or people around you. Great clip, I'll watch the whole thing now! :)
I envy anyone who has grown up with great parents. Mine never wanted me or loved me, but since it made for a tough childhood it made me stronger. I graduated high school one day and was in the military the next. It also made me a better parent since as a kid i always promised myself when i had children i would be there for them and they would know they were loved. I raised three by myself and all three have become successful individuals.
wish I would have seen this sooner! love what Scott said, he said something about hitting your kids. I was just talking to someone you can not do it today. is telling your kid I well put you throw that wall , Bill bur, said but so true all my dad had to do is look at me and I knew! and that was all it took!
Speaking of James Cann's I juries and surgeries, I couldn't help think of saying 'yeah and he got his ankles hobbled by Kathy Bates..remember that" Lol
I Helped care for your father one weekend he was a tough guy with a good heart. A lover and a fighter, , he was very educated had a lot of class very talented, with a beautiful family. 🤱👩⚕️
I love Scotts acting he brings such a personality to the screen i never laughed so hard then his latest movie when he said "i think i killed the cook" the way he delivered that line made me cry with laughter and i just had to watch that movie. hope scott does a great deal more i am a fan thank you sincerely
Give me James Caan's era and that wild way of being any day of the week over the goofy day & age we live in now where one can't do a damn thing without getting the side-eye from some finger-wagging assclown. I'd happily hop aboard that time machine! Jimmy Caan was and still is THE MAN. xo
I do martial arts and Parkour and Mountain climbing, and I am 57. But I found out awhile ago. I wouldn't get hurt or be more susceptible to be hurt because I was getting older, but I would when someone else was calling the shots. Those are the times I got hurt, when someone else, an instructor just kept training me on their schedule. Like my first week back to TKD years ago. The teacher had us warming up, and I felt my hamstring get pulled. Now if I had just stopped and took a break for awhile, it would have cleared. But he had me keep going and was showing a tornado kick, and I went to do it, and REALLY pulled the hamstring, to where I was limping for 2 weeks. I couldn't even go to the class for another couple weeks. Now if I feel I am getting near some point or feel something almost get injured. I stop. But as far as getting hurt, it didn't matter what age I was. I would either try to do something I wasn't ready for, or keep going because someone else wanted me to.
I may be working 12 hours a day, living paycheck to paycheck, but it really comforts me that Tziouz have it real easy. Michael Rosenbaum making a good living, sitting on a chair talking about fellow tziou James Caan, to fellow tziou Scott Caan. They dont call it an industry for nothing, I turns nothing into dollars for 'em
I don't think it is - his father wasn't a genius/savant at most things, but he was talented enough to get very good at many things. Not quite the same.
at 16 we were living in Albuquerque... Kirkland AFB to be exact.... I was working my first job at American Sandwich Shop... one night they were filming across the street in a cheap hotel. I recently was there and saw that the place is still there..... but after work that one night we went over and watched James Caan filming a scene in 'Hide in Plain Sight' it bombed at the box office and it was decades before I finally found a copy and watched the movie.... ya it sucked but was what would turn out to be the first time of many visits onto movie sets...............
Michael who mention Kiefer. I always made a parallel between Donald/Kiefer and James/Scott. I would love a movie who a tv show with Kiefer and Scott. they could play brother.
What a cool dad, but a cool son also, apple doesn't fall far from the tree - this is true fathership, teach your kid to be a bad ass or don't do it at all, none of this participation trophy BS or excuses, man up, be the best, or go home, that's some sage advice.
I never heard that story. But I did hear one about James Caan taking a young Scott to the Playboy mansion (rather questionable!), apparently as a way to pick up girls. "This is my son. Isn't he cute?"
I don't see being the best at something as something we lost now, or isn't acceptable. I never liked competition, even though I can be competitive. It is like playing guitar, someone will see someone else play really well, and be dismayed and feel like they can never be that good. Or try to become that good. But that is all bullshit. It is the music you do with it.
James Can almost got killed in Brooklyn one day. He was in Carmine Persico club head of Columbo Family. He played a trick on Gianni Russo. He told Gianni when you go see Carmine in the back of the club tell him his daughter is very beautiful. The girl was Carmines girl friend. Gianni did it not knowing Carmine blew a fit. Tommy Billoti and Boozy DeCicco grabbed Jimmy Can and told Carmine Tommy wanted to clip Can on the spot. He was just a Jew but Carmine said let it go and he chewed out the little Jew.

I let Scott know for ya. 🥒💦
Its true I was one of the drinks
I met your father at a car wash. He was such a flirt but he was just being nice. I fell in love with him when I was a little girl. It was really cool meeting him. One highlight of my life. He was very respectful.
The older Scott gets, the more I see the resemblance. Legend as a father but Scott is a great actor as well.
Legit was just about to post this exact same comment. The longer I watched this video the more and more I could only see his pops! lol
He always looked just like him, just a smaller version.
Yes, uncaany.
In probably the 2nd season of Hawaii Five-O (and the rest of the run of the series), he started playing Danno as James Caan. If you go back and watch those episodes, he was just imitating his Dad.

He made me cry in Brian’s Song & again when Sonny died 🙏🏻
I feel for Scott, he lost his Mom around 15 years ago and now his pops. Im sure they are somewhere else and proud they raised a tough kid.
Scott's mother died nearly ten years before his dad (in 2012). She got to see her son do well, but unfortunately didn't meet her granddaughter Josie.
Damn. This world needs many more James Caans.
James Caan was an original, a real tough guy and a great actor!!!
Such a great chat. I always assumed Scott was a cool dude and he did not disappoint.
Always been a fan of Scott Caan, and always been a fan of James Caan.
A great man who raised another great man.
James Caan was great in the movie Thief, my favorite Caan film, well, that and Rollerball.
His chemistry with Casey Affleck in the Ocean's series was excellent, maybe they reunite once more to do another.
Loved them as the Utah Bros 😂

Loved Scott in Hawaii in 5-0, adored James in The Godfather ❤

So great listing to him talk about his father with such love and respect. It’s great to admire him and his father
I like his take on life, he seems a very balanced and level headed person😊
very unusual for Hollywood, testament to the parents
Not Hollywood types (James Caan was from the Bronx, Sheila Ryan was from Chicago). Didn't raise a brat.
Great actor taking cues from his Dad RIP James Cann
He didn’t so much when he was younger but the resemblance to his father is uncanny the older he gets.
Maybe even uncaany.
Absolutely Love James Caan 🤩 What an Actor 👏👏👏👏👏
RIP Mr. Caan Gardens of the Stone is my personal favorite followed by Thief just great movies .
Scott is a great actor. Really entertaining to watch!

James Caan was the real deal man
They don’t make them like that no more
James Caan, Charles Bronson, Paul Newman. They don't make em like they used to.
@@badeugenecops4741 Yes. Clint Eastwood, Tally Savalas, Yul Brynner etc. So many manly men

Great Stallone impression
Right?!
James Caan and Scott Caan = Tough Men!!
Holy crap. That was one of the best Stallone impressions I've ever heard.
sounds like your dad was your hero as well ! your dad was one of the great ones period !
Loved hearing about this. Another fascinating interview ❤️🙏🏻
Renaissance man is the word they were looking for about being good at everything.
James Caan truly was a legend.
Thief is one my all time favourite heist films. Scratch that, it’s just one of my all time favourite films.
Great film
So good! You can see so much of the foundations of Michael Mann’s career in that film. Crime Story, HEAT, all good
I just watched it again about a week ago, for the first time in years. I forgot how fkn great it was. Probably my favourite JC film.
I am a true blue kind of a guy!
Liked Scott in Entourage & Hawaii 5 0. His Dad was great in The Godfather & Misery but my favorite movie with him was Rollerball.
An overlooked movie
Jonathan, Jonathan, Jonathan
It’s almost funny to think of a movie about extreme roller derby being so deep and thought provoking but then it really wasn’t about roller derby..lol
Back when actors were men and not these “don’t offend me I’m tender” actors we have today.
Him and Steve McQueen were cut from the same mold.
wish I would have seen this sooner! love what Scott said, he said something about hitting your kids. I was just talking to someone you can not do it today. is telling your kid I well put you throw that wall , Bill bur, said but so true all my dad had to do is look at me and I knew! and that was all it took!

And he was also Buddy's father. Great actor. RIP.
I Helped care for your father one weekend he was a tough guy with a good heart. A lover and a fighter, , he was very educated had a lot of class very talented, with a beautiful family. 🤱👩⚕️
Thanks, Scott💪.
I loved Scott in Varsity Blues. I loved James Caan in Thief, one of my favorite movies.
Scott Caan is wise beyond his years.
Wow, so interesting how much he looks like his dad!
He seems like a good guy
I love Scotts acting he brings such a personality to the screen i never laughed so hard then his latest movie when he said "i think i killed the cook" the way he delivered that line made me cry with laughter and i just had to watch that movie. hope scott does a great deal more i am a fan thank you sincerely
He has a Great attitude just like his Father .
It's not fear it's respect when a parent looks at a child and knows not to do something.
Give me James Caan's era and that wild way of being any day of the week over the goofy day & age we live in now where one can't do a damn thing without getting the side-eye from some finger-wagging assclown. I'd happily hop aboard that time machine! Jimmy Caan was and still is THE MAN. xo
That was a great Stallone impression 😂
The words Scott was looking for in describing his Dad is Renaissance Man.
Great interview I grew up watching James Caan movies I remember being a kid and thinking James Caan was the coolest guy out there
Loved James in The Godfather and Scott in Boiler Room.
Scoot is a great actor keep it up your dad would be proud. you be in lot good movies and shows. love your dad in Las Vegas!!!
“You’re either first, or you’re last”
- wise man
No "participation ribbons" in the Caan household!
It's scary how much he resembles his old man. I know that can happen sometimes in life but not often to this extent.
James Caan once played my Grandpa in a movie he directed, 'Hide in plain sight'.
I do martial arts and Parkour and Mountain climbing, and I am 57.
But I found out awhile ago. I wouldn't get hurt or be more susceptible to be hurt because I was getting older, but I would when someone else was calling the shots. Those are the times I got hurt, when someone else, an instructor just kept training me on their schedule. Like my first week back to TKD years ago.

Boiler Room all day. Underrated performance. I used to be a stock broker and a commodities broker in Boiler rooms and he played that role perfect
I remember watching him in different movies such as slither. He was a great actor.
Absolutely loVed actor ⭐ James Caan's performance as Jolly in the 1982 movie KISS ME GOODBYE.
Savant is the word you’re searching for…
I don't think it is - his father wasn't a genius/savant at most things, but he was talented enough to get very good at many things. Not quite the same.
Boy his looks so much like his father. Loved his father❤❤

His dad did 18 movies and a few shows during Scott's childhood/teen years. I guess that shows the difference what people consider working alot.
Love Scotts latest movie.... Hillarious
Great interview 🔥🔥🔥
Scott's a classy guy, great interview
Love this podcast!
cant believe how much he looks like his dad now
you get a like based on that stallone impression alone that was money. Long time fan of this podcast and how you breakdown your side of the world.
Just imagine your dad being sonny corleone!!!
JIMMY CAAN was the coolest man's man ever!
James Caan - legend
Love him on varsity blues. I behaved just like him after watching that movie lol wooohoo
Michael who mention Kiefer. I always made a parallel between Donald/Kiefer and James/Scott. I would love a movie who a tv show with Kiefer and Scott. they could play brother.
I'm gonna miss James Caan

Creep'n on Dorothy Stratten at the playboy mansion. Yup seen others do it and picked it right up!
I never heard that story. But I did hear one about James Caan taking a young Scott to the Playboy mansion (rather questionable!), apparently as a way to pick up girls. "This is my son. Isn't he cute?"
Mr. Scott 💖 🇷🇸
Michael, I believe that Stalone impression would drive his Rottweiler crazy.
I saw JC rodeoing in Tucson’s Fiesta de los Vaqueros in the 70’s. He looked pretty good on a horse.
Rollerball. Masterpiece.
Thank God for this.
"Didn't you learn from your dad?"
"No."
Scott Caan And The Alchemist Are The Whooliganz
i Love your attitude
Apparently someone was good at riding bikes
You look at his face and it's familiar, like where have seen it before? Then when realize when his dad is.
Scott is one cool cat.
Son is nice, refreshing.
Best movie roller ball got me jacked
That was great.
