Veteran actor James Caan let people in on a little secret last week. After 46 successful years among Hollywood’s most outspoken liberal stars, he’s speaking up about breaking the mold.
“I'm an ultra conservative,” he said at Moet & Chandon’s 6th Annual Hollyshorts Film Festival Opening Night Celebration in Los Angeles.
“I'm not a G** damn Hollywood liberal, I'm not,” he said, adding he only watches Fox News.
Caan, who was at the event promoting his involvement with the online platform Openfilm.com, also added that he doesn’t think Hollywood actors need to comment on every single political issue. When Pop Tarts questioned him on California courts deeming Proposition 8, which bans same sex marriage, “unconstitutional,” he preferred to keep his lips sealed.
"I don't want to comment on that. I'll let those other geniuses do that – all those actors who like to find a stage to push their agendas,” he said. “They don't have political science degrees... I certainly don't. I'll leave it to Sean Penn or Barbara Streisand to comment on that."

I always liked him.
I always did like James Caan, ever since “Gardens of Stone.”
i'm shocked!!!
He was great in Eraser, a real jerk!
It is nice to have great actor that we can be proud of.
Caan could do the country some good by exposing all the leftist baloney he has had to deal with- and the stupidity of those commenting on stuff they are too ignorant to understand.
I love when he said stars should stop commenting on stuff
Tell the USA that the stars are nothing but ‘useful idiots’ to the communists.
CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!
“I’ll leave it to Sean Penn or Barbara Streisand to comment on that.”
Sean Penn and Barbara Streisand couldn’t be reached for comment.
But you can bet your A$$ they will be commenting very soon..
I’ve always liked this guy, from the Godfather to Misery and more.
He reminds me of the actors of the good ole days, Mitchum, Tracy, Wayne, Newman, Heston, Lancaster, etc.etc. They were patriots also.
...and another Hollywood type comes out of the conservative closet after his career is all but over...
My three favorite Caan performances
-Sonny Corleone in The Godfather
-Paul Sheldon in Misery
-Jonathan E. in Rollerball and Mike Locken in Killer Elite (Tie)
He was great in El Dorado!
What about The Gambler?
Don’t forget “Brian’s Song”!
Caan. James Caan.
Calling "The Godfather" a "cult mob classic" is, well, unusual.
Anyway, Robert Duvall has also come out as a conservative. Is Al Pacino next? How about DeNiro? Abe Vigoda?
