AS SEEN ON TV: SIR MICHAEL CAINE

MICHAEL CAINE

AS SEEN ON:
'Saturday Night Live'

AS PLAYED BY:
Tom Hanks

Sir Michael Caine has been imitated on 'Saturday Night Live' twice in the past - once by Phil Hartman (which was seen as part of a two week salute to Phil Hartman here at Inner Toob) and by Seth Meyer in another sketch.

But they're not the only ones who like to imitate the actor whose real name is Maurice Mickelwhite.....






What I want to know is: most of these people use variations of the phrase "Not many people know that....." as sort of a touchstone to get in touch with their inner Michael Caine.  So where did that come from?  Is it a well-known line from one of his movies?

BCnU!
