Forever immortalized getting riddled with bullets in that tollbooth scene, James Caan gave us one of cinema's most explosive exits as Sonny Corleone in *The Godfather*—a performance that earned him an Oscar nod and proved he could die on screen like nobody's business. From making grown men cry in *Brian's Song* to terrorizing Kathy Bates (or was it the other way around?) in *Misery*, this 82-year-old Hollywood tough guy has spent five decades proving that charisma and a mean right hook never go out of style.
