Michael Caine : The last time Caine has done an American accent?

The last time Caine has done an American accent?

I can't brag I know Caine's entire body of work, but I am a fan of his and was wondering when was the last time he sported an American accent. I've seen films such as "Inception", of course 'Batman", and "The Weather Man". and he's always got a British accent. I'll easily say I'm not an expert of his work. But has he ever done a America accent in a movie?

Re: The last time Caine has done an American accent?

He has sported an American accent a few times during his career. His Oscar-winning performance in The Cider House Rules, for one.

Re: The last time Caine has done an American accent?

Caine can be very versatile in terms of the characters that he plays, but he isn't very good at doing American (or any other) accents. In the few roles he's had where he tried to do so, you could still tell that he was a Brit.

I always found it odd, since British actors seem to do better jobs at American accents than vice-versa (i.e. I didn't even realize that Gary Oldman or Tim Roth were British when I first saw them, since they did such convincing jobs with their US accents). Even Caine's cockney buddy Bob Hoskins has done better US accents than Caine.

Re: The last time Caine has done an American accent?

to be honest i don't think his american accent is one of his strong assets. i remember him attempting one in The cider house rules.

Re: The last time Caine has done an American accent?

His American accent is pretty bad but then so is his British accent and he was born with it. I just can't bear to hear him talk.
