Powers Boothe

Mister Boothe has a daughter who is also an acclaimed actress. Most Caine impressions repeat the catchphrase "...and not a lot of people know that", which was never actually used by Caine, except more recently when sending up himself and the mimics who established the catchphrase. Most recently, Boothe has played a featured role as brothel-owner Cy Tolliver on the HBO series Deadwood. Caine is a popular subject for impressionists and mimics, having a distinctive yet fairly easy to copy voice. However, his most lauded subsequent performance was in the 1990 CBS-TV film Family Of Spies where he played traitor Navy Officer John Walker. Unlike some actors who adopt their stage name for everyday use, Caine still uses his real name when he is not working. He also gave several fine performances in other films like Southern Comfort, A Breed Apart, Red Dawn, The Emerald Forest, and Extreme Prejudice, as well as HBO films like Into The Homeland and By Dawn's Early Light. He was created Commander of the British Empire (CBE) in 1992 for services to drama, and in 2000 a Knight Bachelor, becoming Sir Maurice Micklewhite.

He said at the time, "this may be either the bravest moment of my career or the dumbest." He joined the ranks of Humphrey Bogart and other actors when he portrayed Philip Marlowe in a series of short films for HBO in 1983-1986. He has been Oscar-nominated six times, winning his first Academy Award for the 1986 film, Hannah and Her Sisters, his second in 1999 for The Cider House Rules, in both cases as a supporting actor (in common with his contemporary Sean Connery, Caine now plays supporting roles). During the actors' strike in the fall of 1980, he was one of the few who showed up at the ceremonies to claim his prize. By this time Caine's reputation as an icon was assured, and recent performances in Little Voice (1998), Last Orders (2001) and others have rehabilitated his critical reputation. A young actor named Powers Boothe captures all the charisma and evil of 'Dad', Jim Jones." Boothe won an Emmy Award for his role, beating out veterans Henry Fonda and Jason Robards. However, I have seen the house that it paid for, and it is superb". In Time Magazine's story on the production, Boothe was praised: "There is one extraordinary performance. Of the former, Caine famously said "I have not seen the film, but I hear it is terrible.

Boothe's portrayal of the crazed cult leader received critical acclaim. 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 (1987) and On Deadly Ground (1994). A native of Texas with extensive stage experience, Boothe first came to prominence in 1980 playing the title role in the CBS-TV movie Guyana Tragedy: The Story Of Jim Jones. The 1970s proved to be a lean period for Caine, with successes such as Sleuth (1972) and The Man Who Would Be King (1975) overshadowed by disasters such as The Swarm (1978) and Beyond the Poseidon Adventure (1979). Powers Boothe is a television and movie actor. After ending the 1960s with the equally iconic The Italian Job Caine entered the 1970s with Get Carter, one of the best British gangster films. His trademark horn-rimmed glasses did not prevent him becoming a pin-up.

He went on to play Palmer in a further two films. Zulu was closely followed by his two best-known roles: the spy "Harry Palmer", in The Ipcress File (1965), and the woman-chasing Alfie (1966). At the time, Caine's working-class cockney, just as with The Beatles Liverpudlian accents, seemed like a breath of fresh air. This proved to be ironic, as Caine was quickly to become notable for using a regional accent, rather than the 'BBC English' hitherto considered proper for film actors.

After several minor roles, Caine came into the public eye as an upper-class British army officer in the 1963 film, Zulu. He once joked to an interviewer that had he looked the other way, he would have ended up as Michael 101 Dalmatians. Looking around for inspiration, he noted that The Caine Mutiny was being shown at the Odeon cinema, and so he decided to change his name to Michael Caine. His agent insisted that he come up with a new name immediately.

He happened to be speaking to his agent in a telephone box in London's Leicester Square when he was informed that he had to change his name again because another actor was already using the name Michael Scott. During the Second World War he was evacuated to Norfolk. When Michael Caine first became an actor he changed his name to Michael Scott. He was born Maurice Joseph Micklewhite in Rotherhithe, South London and grew up in nearby Camberwell. Michael Caine (born March 14, 1933) is a British film actor.
