Heard/met him at a sports dinner a few years back. Quiet, but seemed a pretty good bloke.
Had the misfortune to captain the Lions in NZ in '77. A dreadful, sour tour appallingly managed and coached by John Dawes. As a key player in the 1974 Lions, I always thought Bennett deserved better than that.

Mate messaged me this morning,

James Caan is dead. Is this real? He/somebody announced it on his verified twitter account — rather cryptically — and msm reporting as-if he’s actually dead.

“End of tweet.”

Another Legend gone
Would love to have seen Will Smith try to slap Jimmy

I haven’t read any obits yet, but do recall from several documentaries about filming of The Godfather how the FBI was always investigating Jimmy ‘cos of his legit friendships with wiseguys who admired him.

@MN5 He got into acting while serving time in Sing sing for a host of crimes - so yeah the Soprano's was probably a docu-drama for him.
Yep googled him as you do and he had a pretty colourful life by the sounds of things.
De Niro, Pesci and Pacino are obviously gifted actors who can play the mob hard man very well but sometimes the real thing is even better !
