Michael Caine

Sir Michael Caine (born Maurice Joseph Micklewhite in Rotherhithe, London, England on March 14, 1933) is an English actor who served in the British Army's Royal Fusiliers. In the 1950s, having wanted to become an actor since a young child, he worked at a few theatres in England and performed bit parts until his career took him to London, where he was able to get roles on television and movies. His title role in Alfie (1966), distributed by Paramount, as a charming womanizer got him front and centre and introduced him as a movie star to the American audience. His versatility allowed him to transition seamlessly between various roles in a variety of genres, from epic dramas to action thrillers to comedies. As the 1970s dawned, he had undeniably become a big international star, and as a sort of coming home to British cinema, he portrayed Jack Carter, a gritty, cold-blooded London gangster in Get Carter (1971), one of his most career-defining performance. Since the 1990s, he mostly did incredible work as a supporting actor. His eight decade-long career has seen numerous awards, including two Academy Awards out of six nominations), a BAFTA Award out of eight nominations and a BAFTA Fellowship, three Golden Globe Awards out of 12 nominations, and countless nominations; he is one of only two actors nominated for an Academy Award for acting in every consecutive decade from the 1960s to 2000s (alongside Jack Nicholson). Moreover, he has received the European Film Award Honorary Lifetime Achievement Award in 2015 and the Golden Plate Award of the American Academy of Achievement in 2017. He also wrote four memoirs across several decades: What's It All About? (1992), The Elephant to Hollywood (2010),  Blowing the Bloody Doors Off (2018), and Don't Look Back, You'll Trip Over: My Guide to Life (2024). He announced his retirement from acting days after the release of his final film, the British biographical comedy-drama The Great Escaper (2023), which came out the next month. He published his first novel in 2023, a thriller called Deadly Game soon after.

Since his retirement, he divides his time between residences in Wimbledon and Chelsea Harbour, West London. As of 2017, the films in which he has appeared have grossed over $7.8 billion worldwide. He is widely regarded as a British cultural icon and appointed as Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 1992 Birthday Honours and as Commander of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in 2011. In the 2000 Birthday Honours, he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II.
