‘Zulu’ was the movie that gave him his big break.

Caine played the total cad in the movie “Alfie” (1966) showing early in his film career how versatile he was in characterizations. One of the greats from the UK.

“Everybody’s going to die. At least I’ve lived to f—g 90; I didn’t die at nine, or 19, or 29. I’m 90, and I’ve had the best possible life I could have thought of. The best possible wife, and the best possible family. They may not be a family that other people would say is the best possible family – but the best possible family for me,” he said.I don't think anyone would argue that Michael Caine has not had a very interesting and rewarding life. Sure he appeared in some real stinkers but what actor hasn't?

One of the greats, and he always had a terrific work ethic. Very old school: “I’m an actor; naturally I want the best role I can find and I appreciate a big paycheck, but if I’m not working, I’m not earning my keep.” Show up, turn in an honest day’s work, move on to the next job.
He also has one of the great stories about how he got his eyes opened. He was a working class British yute without a posh education and no great prospects. This was in the early 1950’s, and he was called up for his then-unavoidable military service just in time to go to Korea. There he found himself behind a machine gun watching the Chinese human wave assaults rolling up the hill at him. That is when, his youthful vaguely leftist ideas notwithstanding, he started to think there might be something wrong with communism.
