"In the early 1960s, Michael Caine was regularly playing small character parts in television dramas and British movies. With his cockney accent and tough-guy image, he was repeatedly typecast as the small-scale villain.

But when Caine turned up to the audition, the part had already been given to his friend, James Booth. Caine was just leaving, when the director Cy Endfield asked him to come back. He said to Caine that he did not look like a cockney to him, but had much more the air of an upper-class toff, a typical army officer of the late 19th century…"

A terrific actor. My two favorite roles for him were the TWY German merc in "The Last Valley" and Peachy Carnehan in "The Man Who Would Be King." These were both brilliant roles. May Sir Michael live and work on!
