One of our best-loved actors, Michael Caine has starred in over 100 films in his six-decade career, spanning classic movies likeAlfie,Zulu, andThe Italian Job(the inspiration for the book title) to playing Alfred opposite Christian Bale's Batman in Christopher Nolan's blockbusterDark Knighttrilogy. Caine has excelled in every kind of role--with a skill that's made it look easy.
