An old joke about Michael Caine...


...was if you had a decent Buffet for the actors...he'd do your movie. But that was back in the days before 1000's of people were famous actors.

Billy Zane is one of the new MC's who works in any film if you call him.

Except Michael Caine has talent. Maybe it would be more correct to say Billy Zane is one of the new Eric Roberts's who works in any film if you call him.

I remember him at a convention saying that he did Jaws IV because he got to go to Bermuda. The fact that it was one of the worst scripts he had ever read was immaterial; he got paid to be on vacation and was quite happy with that.

Seemed like a great attitude.

I'm so far out of your league, if your's were to explode I wouldn't hear it for 3 days.

Michael Caine said years ago that David Niven gave him advice on choosing a script. He said Niven told him if the filming location was a place he wanted to go on vacation, then it was a good script.

You can add Lance Henriksen , Clancy Brown and Ron Perlman to that list.

Strange, as they are all good actors imho
Bit sad they end up selling their souls to the devil of z-list movies because they are "too old" for the movie industry and have been thrown on the scrap heap!
