James Caan
James Caan is one of the old-school Hollywood actors our parents probably know. He became a household name after appearing in The Glory Guys, but his role in The Godfather was what made him a superstar.
The greatest thing he did in football was play Jimmy Kilgannon in The Rain People. Before then, James played for his high school team, but nothing came of it. It was during his time at Hofstra University that he grew an interest in acting and films. He decided to drop out of college and move to New York to make a name for himself in the acting world.
