"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.

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! |
