Michael Caine: Awesome

Michael Caine is awesome. He defines the word gravitas for me. He has great presence onscreen and surely if I ever saw him on a stage that would be multiplied greatly. He also apparently had a reputation in his younger years for constantly taking roles and working all the time. There is one quote in the article that was so fuckin' funny if for nothing else than its realness. Apparently Caine, while making lots of good films, also had no qualms about accepting roles in terrible films including something called "Jaws: The Revenge" (which I now absolutely must see). Regarding that film he remarked, "I have never seen it, but by all accounts it is terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific." Now that's real talk. Michael Caine. What a baller.
