James Caan Files for Divorce... Again

By PopEater Staff Posted Nov 20th 2009 09:50AM

On Friday, James Caan filed for divorce from his wife of 14 years, court records in Los Angeles show.

This is the second time the 'The Godfather' actor has sought to divorce his wife, Linda Stokes. The first case, filed in 2005, was not pursued.

The couple were married in October 1995 and have two sons James Arthur Caan, 14 and Jacob Nicholas Caan, 11. Caan is seeking joint custody of the boys.

According to the court records, Caan cited irreconcilable differences for the split.

Caan, who earned an Academy Award nomination for his role as Sonny Corleone in 'The Godfather,' has starred in numerous movies and TV series.

He also starred as Paul Sheldon in Stephen King's 'Misery,' Ed Deline in the television series 'Las Vegas,' and as Will Ferrell's father in 'Elf.'

"CAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNN!!!!!" as said by "Captain Kirk" in "Star Trek II: the Wrath of Caan."

Sonny Corleone ROCKS!!!

By Gandolf Crotchfume

The problem with Sonny is that he can't pry himself off the newest piece of young cooze and be a straight, normal hubby. James Caan thinks he really is a mob man, a casino manager, a hustler. Don't worry, Jimmy, there's another 22-year old "actress" just around the corner.

By MikeGTO

By joan

Caan is a very good actor, problem is he is too much in love with himself and can't fall out of love with himself which will make any relationship with another person a tough nut to crack. My heart goes out to the children of people like this as it sets a horrible example of what a good marriage could be.

By summitbay

Another pig, who thinks the lapdance girls and hookers are in love with him (not his money) stupid azz.

By ddun546

In my opinion his greatest claim to fame was his portryal of Brian Piccolo in the movie Brians song.

By syankee15

Caan was in a great but almost forgotten movie. It was called The Gambler. Check it out sometime it is fantastic

By jjp009

This man is responsible for perhaps the greatest beating ever caught on film. Can you name any other actor who used a garbage can lid to beat his brother-in-law senseless? Classic.

What about Kubla Khan? Even better - Madeline Kahn! And the best for last - what about Khan Noonien Singh (Khaaaaannnnn!!!!!).

Mother....Madeline is retired and wants her privacy, Kubla has not spoken to his family after streaking on the dance floor in a drunken fury at his brothers wedding. Khan Nooien Singh is in Valhalla cruising in a Chrysler Cordoba with Herve Villechez. Fully equipted with fine Corinthian Leather seats of course.
