Michael Caine



Sir Michael Caine is a English film actor that has appeared in many many British films for most of his life. He has worldwide fame as he has appeared in over 100 films. Recognising his contribution to cinema (especially British) the Queen knighted him in 2000. We are using him as a case study for the section of British Film. We are using him but he has very stereo typed and iconic aspects about him that make him British.


Past:
Caine had a very normal British childhood growing up in Camberwell, England. During World War II he got moved to Norfolk. He worked briefly as film clerk/messenger for a film producer name, Jay Lewis. He attended the National Service from 1952-1954 which was compulsory in those years.
