  Michael Caine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This proved paradoxical, as Caine was to become notable for using a regional accent, rather than the Received Pronunciation hitherto considered proper for film actors.
Throughout the 1980s and early 1990s, Caine alternated between acclaimed performances in films such as Educating Rita (1983) and Mona Lisa (1986), and unashamedly mercenary roles in notorious duds such as Jaws: The Revenge (as Hoagie Newcombe) (1987) and On Deadly Ground (1994).
Caine is a popular subject for impressionists and mimics, having a distinctive yet fairly easy to copy voice.

Michael Caine, who had an easy birth on March 14, 1933 ("the last easy thing I was to do for 30 years," he has said), seems as familiar as any actor to have emerged in the past 40 years.
Caine's impassive expression and ray-gun orbs don't offer the certainty of either kindness or cruelty but something far more unsettling: the sensation of being coolly appraised, of having each action or utterance totted up and held to your credit or debit.
Caine's villains are so effective because, in his other roles as well as in his public persona, he seems the most levelheaded of actors.
