Michael Caine: 'an actor acts...'


As I watch this horrid embarrassment, I remind myself of Caine's quote when explaining why he took a role in a Steven Seagal movie: "an actor acts" He went on to say that he directed a movie, but it took a year of his life to plan, film, edit and complete. He could work four films a year as an actor.

Yes, indeed, Sir Michael Caine. An actor does indeed act. Cheers!

Oh, the usual. I bowl. Drive around. The occasional acid flashback

Mike is a hero, I slagged him off a couple of years ago and then reavulated his career, he is probably still the best actor out there. If you are reading Mike give me a pm and I will tell you a great story

I thought this movie was pretty good.

It’s crazy how many good movies he’s done!

His body of work is as good as any of the imo. Pacino, De Niro, Nicholson etc
