HIS name is Michael Caine – but then again it very nearly wasn’t. Not a lot of people know that when Caine first embarked on his acting career in 1954 he had originally decided to replace his birth name of Maurice Micklewhite with the punchier Michael Scott. When he called his agent from a phone box in Leicester Square, however, he was informed the name was already taken and he needed another one pronto.

Generally, it seems to be only Islam that doesn’t play well with others (Coexist? - NOT!).

Probably a post to the wrong thread. Bammy’s fault. I’m a victim of the speedier FR.

Did you see a movie he made a couple of years ago, where he was a retired (military or police) and these thugs killed his friend....so he hunted them down and blewyyy!!!
I think it was called Harry Brown.
Very, well done.

That was a good one. You can feel the mounting frustration in Britain with the hoodlums in that movie.

He was brilliant in Dirty, Rotten Scoundrels, one of my top five all-time movies.
Also, “Blame it on Rio.”
And of course, “The Man Who Would Be King.”
