Michael Caine Takes Muppets Seriously
Michael Caine absolutely excelled in The Muppet Christmas Carol movie. His performance was spot on and totally hilarious- delighting all the parents around the world that watched this movie with their kids. Caine said he would play the role as seriously as if he were with the Royal Shakespeare Company, meaning- totally serious.
By doing so, Caine fully committed to the role and delivered a hilarious and memorable performance. Looks like the movie creators decided to include a small nod to Caine in the movie as well. Here you can see a store with a sign “Mickelwhite” this is an ode to Caine’s whose birth name is actually Maurice Joseph Micklewhite.
