Sir Michael Caine is one of the world's most acclaimed screen actors; along with Jack Nicholson, he is the only actor with Oscar nominations in every decade since the 1960s. Caine has played a wide range of characters, some aristocratic, some reflecting his working-class roots. Some of his best roles have been hard men. He was a brutal hitman in Get Carter (1970), a gold thief in The Italian Job (1969), and a British officer in his star-making role in Zulu (1964). In his latest film, Harry Brown, Caine plays a widowed Irish veteran who seeks vengeance against a youth gang after his friend is murdered.
