Blowing the Bloody Doors Off - Michael Caine

In his 85th year Michael Caine has written this new book.   It is part memoir about his early life and most of the book is devoted to his advice for actors.  Peppered with stories about the movie industry and the many movies he has been in it talks not only about being a movie star when younger, but as he aged becoming more popular as a character actor.  It is all good advice, about preparing well, learning your lines, making friends on set, being prompt and polite and most of all being professional.

He comes across as a nice guy.  Good to his friends, treated his mum well and loves his wife, daughters and three grandchildren.  3/5

I've always liked Caine, and found his roles as he ages are often just as good as those from his younger days. He even gets to play the lead from time to time, as in "Harry Brown".
