Michael Caine has appeared in over 100 films, including "The Italian Job" (1969), "Hannah and Her Sisters" (1986), "A Muppet Christmas Carol" (1992), The Dark Knight trilogy and "The Cider House Rules" (1999). Well-known for his Cockney accent and tall frame, Caine has dominated the "older British mentor" roles for the last ten years. Most of the enthusiastic youth of today will remember him best as Alfred in The Dark Knight trilogy.
