MICHAEL CAINE – AGE 88

There are various reasons you might not recognize Michael Caine as Arthur in The Secret Service. Michael Caine, a prolific British film star, rose to fame as an icon of London’s swinging ’60s. Still, he was remembered as an international film hero four decades later, contributing to some of cinema’s highest and lowest moments. With his glasses and working-class cockney accent, Caine seemed an unlikely movie star at first, but with films like The Ipcress File and Alfie, he came to personify the cultural upheaval of 1960s Britain.

The actor had already played hundreds of roles by the time he hit it big due to his repertory theater roots. His experience and talents made him one of the most versatile leading actors on screen. Caine’s success as Alfred in Batman Begins was the start of a series of collaborations that would last for the next two decades. Trying to summarize his seven-decade career investments would be an all-day jawbreaker of a job. We are just as glad to see his constant presence on the silver screen to date.
