Scott Caan, star of “Gone in 60 Seconds” and “Boiler Room,” was in his late teens when he decided to follow in the footsteps of his father, veteran actor James Caan—who rose to fame playing Sonny Corleone in the 1972 cult classic “The Godfather.”

However, Mr. Scott Caan recently told Fox News Digital that his dad cautioned him against pursuing a career in the entertainment industry.
