Popular movie lore has it that director Francis Ford Coppola and/or Paramount originally wanted James Caan for Michael Corleone, the role that would become a career-making turn for Al Pacino, in the 1972 mob classic "The Godfather."
But the now-73-year-old Caan, who begins a four-episode arc on Starz's "Magic City" Friday (June 21) is quick to dispel that rumor when speaking to Zap2it.
