Actor Scott Caan, eldest son of James Caan, possesses his father's swagger, charming manner, and chiseled physique—easily making him a potential Sonny Corleone for the next generation. Encouraged to stay away from acting by his dad, Caan rapped in the hip-hop group The Hooligans before deciding to ignore his dad’s advice and study acting at Playhouse West in Los Angeles. He made his feature debut as the lead in "A Boy Called Hate" (1995), in which his father played Caan’s on-screen dad. After performing in "Aaron Gillespie Will Make You a Star" (1996)—a project that grew out of a Playhouse West production—he appeared in Gregg Araki's slick homage to oversexed teens and pop culture, "Nowhere" (1997). Caan’s career progressed when he appeared as a cocky government agent chasing Will Smith in Tony Scott's blockbuster "Enemy of the State" (1998). He showed his comedic side as the rowdy, but troubled teammate of James Van Der Beek's second string quarterback-turned-local celebrity in "Varsity Blues" (1999). Though he has made a couple of small films struggling to find distribution—"Nowhere to Go" (1998) and "Saturn" (1999)—Caan continued to appear in larger Hollywood fare, including "Boiler Room" (2000), co-starring Ben Affleckand Giovanni Ribisi, and “Gone in 60 Seconds” (2000), the abysmal remake of the 1974 car chase disguised as a movie. The following year, Caan played Cole Younger to Colin Farrell’s Jesse James in the revisionist western "American Outlaws" (2001). In late 2001, Caan appeared in the remake of Rat Pack heist comedy, “Ocean’s 11” (2001), starring a bevy of A-list actors, including George Clooney Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, and Julia Roberts among others. Though ultimately a popcorn movie, “Ocean’s 11” was a fun and entertaining romp successful enough to warrant a sequel. Caan returned with the rest of the original cast for “Ocean’s 12” (2004), though early responses from critics didn’t greet the sequel as kindly as its predecessor.
