His whole seminar is up online for free and it's absolutely phenomenal. I learned more about acting than anywhere else

Sir Michael is 91 and still with us, thankfully.

This full actor's workshop is phenomenal, and free on You Tube.

This isnt just acting these are potent social skills

Michael Caine is such a treasure, and his presence in a movie can elevate the whole production.

[Aengus]

It's like when Eastwood was told "Don't just say something, stand there."

[bharat]

Thats why he's multiple Academy Awards winner.

The trick about not blinking is finding the right time to blink without getting teary eyed. Because that would make you look even weaker than just blinking.

[FlatlandMando]

Great actors have so many things they do which we don't notice in the specifics. We just notice the final great acting!

[bune-kwai]

I just learned more about acting, dominance and communication in the last 60 seconds than I have in the last 40 years. Truly a knight, Sir Caine!

The blinking is something Hugh Grant does very well whenever he's playing a nervous character

[LivegoodWilliam]

I remember watching this when I was studying. I don't act anymore, but I still use this technique when speaking to someone to this day. It's a life lesson

[robertcowan]

I agree so much with what so many others have said in that Michael Caine is a master of his craft. He has a presence that commands attention and exudes a quiet strength. Makes me want to see some of his work right now. I'm off to hunt up one of his brilliant performances. Have a good night, everyone.

[JoaquimGonsalves]

Still one of the most underrated screen acting coaches.

[guitarwill]

He just taught so many things just in this one little clip, even outside of acting.

I wish somebody would send this to the thousands of actors and actresses that switch between eyes quickly. Drives me crazy.
