comments

I liked him most in 'The Godfather' (1972), 'Alien Nation' (1988) and 'Misery' (1990)

his parents are jewish immigrants from Germany: Arthur (* 1909 † 1986) and Sophie (* 1915 † 2016)

had his first movie role as an uncredited bit part in Billy Wilder's 'Irma La Duce' (1963)...he was a soldier with a radio

he was married to Dee Jay Mattis (1960 - 1966, divorced), Sheila Ryan (1976 - 1977, divorced) and Ingrid Hajed (1990 - 1995) and Linda Stokes (1995 - 2017, divorced)

he has 5 children from his relationships, among them actor Scott Caan (* 1976) from his marriage to Ryan
