Sir Michael Caine was born on the 14 march 1933. He has appeared in more than 100 films and is seen as one of the most influential and iconic British film actors ever. Amazingly Michael Caine has been nominated for a Academy award in every decade since the 60's making him one of the two only actors to have achieved such an incredible track record. Caine has appeared in numerous films which allow him to portray gritty realistic characters and exploit his reasonably strong cockney accent, such as Get Carter (1971). Caines more recent appearnences include the butler in Batman begins and The Dark Knight starring as the butler in both which shows his flexability within the characters he can play. In an interview Caine (76) stated that "I don't have to work, and just sit there - if a movie comes in that I want to do, I will do it, if one never comes in that I want to do, then I'm retired,". This implies a great passion for his acting career not letting age stop him from doing what he loves. He also stated "I'll retire quietly when I stop finding roles that interest me". Caines influences biggest influences include: Frank Sinatra, Stanislavsky, The Beatles and John Wayne.
