Michael Caine is one Hollywood’s most critically acclaimed actors in the film industry.
But, did you know he practices his lines over 1,000 times before he ever heads to set?
In an interview with 60 Minutes, Michael Caine tells Lesley Stahl he reads his lines a minimum of 1,000 times before he stes foot on a set. And he read only his own lines, not those of his fellow actors. “I don’t want to be in the situation where I know what he’s going to say,” he explains. “I know what my bloody answer is. I’ve said it a thousand times. So I listen to what he says and that’s what makes the difference.”
His wife even commented on his acting technique. He goes over and over his lines and that has become a way of life with him,” she says. “I realize that, and he realizes too, that excellence is only by hard work, you know?”
