Actually lived in the Playboy Mansion for a brief period in the 1970s.
 
The comic strip ''[[Tom the Dancing Bug]]'' has a recurring character called the Ghost of James Caan, which is a giant silent floating James Caan head that haunts unexpected places. Instead of instilling fear he confuses the people he encounters who are all pretty sure that James Caan is not, in fact, dead. The living Caan himself will usually make an appearance to assure the world that he's fine and as confused as everyone else.
