Growing up in Britain, Michael Caine has always been such an icon. Chatting with him, I know I came across as the biggest doofus. Literally, I was, like, bowing to him.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Michael Caine is a movie star, but he's also a great actor. I can't say that about every movie star. It's the concentration he has.
I think Michael Caine is a perfectly good actor but it's obvious he's not going to be in one of my films.

Michael Emerson is just a prince. There's something about him. He's so sweet. I don't know how to describe it. There's something about him that's a bit royal.

Bruce Forsyth is my hero, and the thought that I'd be in a TV show with him was incredible.
