JAMES CAAN - CAAN QUITS LAS VEGAS

JAMES CAAN is leaving LAS VEGAS after announcing he won't be a part of the fifth season of the hit US TV drama. The movie icon and co-star NIKKI COX will not feature in the upcoming season of Las Vegas when it starts later this year, according to trade magazine The Hollywood Reporter. Caan, who played a surveillance boss in a Sin City casino, insists he wants to spend more time making movies. In a statement he says, "I'm eager to return to where my heart is, which is film, and, due to the show's schedule, I missed some great opportunities to do that."
