Michael Caine in Conversation

Michael Caine in Conversation. Subscribe: bit.ly/subscribetotheBFI.
Legendary British actor Michael Caine took to the BFI Southbank stage for the launch of his autobiography, The Elephant to Hollywood. In conversation with Francine Stock, Caine discusses a remarkable career spanning five decades, which had led to two Oscars and a knighthood. In this clip, Caine talks about the renaissance of his career after Jack Nicholson's persistence in casting him in Blood &Wine got him out of self imposed retirement. He also recollects the challenges he faced in becoming an actor, with drama schools impossible to find in Elephant & Castle, and he tells the story of how he lucked into getting the role of Lieutenant Gonville Bromhead in Zulu (1964).

When I hear Michael Caine tell the stories of his life, I believe him. Other actors don’t say things like “If I had tried to be an actor ten years earlier, it would have never happened.”

I wish this man would do an evening with tour.

[@catcat7910]

I love him and his voice

Ipcress File, Funeral In Berlin, Italian Job, The Magus, Deadfall, Gambit , Get Carter.......all classics, they just don't make films like that anymore

No offense to his acting, but Michael Caine is about the only actor where I listen more intently in interviews than I ever do in his films. Whatever comes out is going to be much more interesting and humourous in interviews than what some scriptwriter puts down.

Good interview

Sir Michael Caine

[@PhantomFilmAustralia]

The difference between a movie star and a movie actor is Will Smith and Daniel Day-Lewis.

[@samthu6572]

True.. its like Tom Cruise is a movie star and Tom Hanks is a movie actor

[@wuffothewonderdog]

Caine got the part by borrowing Liz Frazer's lucky rabbit's foot to take with him to the audition for Zulu. Liz said he didn't return it afterwards. He owes her..

[@IanP1963]
