MICHAEL CAIN!!


In my opinion, Mr Cain is one of the top 50 actors of all time. You can observe his intensity, and sincerity and affinity for the character he chooses to portray ,

I have observed he goes into true character , without effort , and this is what makes a few performers stand out.

ITA. He is his characters from the first moment we see him/them. I think this will go down as one of his best performances.

If you are such a big fan - you could at least spell his name correctly.

reply

Yes, his name is Maurice Mickelwhite. I saw him in the "Quiet American" about Vietnam before the United States entered the fighting.

On the commentary track on the Quiet American DVD, he talked about being in combat in the Korean War as an enlisted man in the British Army. The Chinese would launch human wave attacks before dawn. He said they could smell them before they could see them as both sides were reduced to living like animals.

Before they got to Korea his unit stopped in Vietnam where the French were fighting. Many of the French Foreign Legion were ex German soldiers from WWII. As the might know, the French Foreign Legion takes foreigners without asking questions. If you survive until retirement, you get French citizenship and questions about your real name and any crimes you may have committed are not asked.

Michael Caine has lived more history than today's dullards read about in school.
