Actor Michael Caine relaxing on the bed at his home Maurice Joseph Micklewhite was born on the 14 March 1933 but is much better known as Michael Caine. He did his acting apprenticeship in and around Suffolk, but an opportunity took him to London in 1954. According to Wiki talking to his agent in a ‘phone booth, his agent informed him that there was already a Michael Scott (Caines original stage name ) performing in London and that he had to come up with a new name, he looked around for inspiration and noted that the Odeon Cinema was showing the Caine Mutiny and settled on Michael Caine. He joked on television in 1987 that, had a tree partly blocking his view been a few feet to the left, he might have been called “Michael Mutiny” photograph by John Kelly
