Live Poll: Michael Caine's Advice

After a long and celebrated career, Michael Caine announced his retirement from acting in late 2023. From London working-class background to Hollywood, from playing in widely panned movies such as Jaws 4 to winning two Oscars, from star parts to effective supporting roles, Caine has become one of the most experienced people in the business. He has also been eager to pass down the insights he gained during all these years.

Which piece of advice do you find most valuable to an aspiring actor?

The following list is based on a masterclass Caine gave to young actors (which you can find on Youtube) and the corresponding book "Acting in Film".

@albstein ,

Thank you for a great poll suggestion. Michael Caine's acting advice is characteristic of his overall approach to acting and is much like a beautiful tapestry. It's hard to identify one piece of advice that is not integral to the whole.

Thanks for updating the title of the thread. Please also move the thread from Idea to Praise, where we keep the other live polls. :)

Done - skills get a bit rusty after some time, eh? :)
