CAINE'S ROYAL ACTING LESSON

SIR MICHAEL CAINE learned how to play an upper class army officer in 1964 movie ZULU by closely watching members of the British royal family.

SIR MICHAEL CAINE

The actor was a working class wannabe when he landed the role - which helped him launch an ultra-successful acting career.

He explains how he mastered the part: "The lower classes wave their hands around a lot to get attention. Powerful people know you are going to listen so they don't have to do that."

"I watched Prince Philip. He always had his hands behind his back - because he knew someone was going to open the door. A cockney has his hand out in front of him in case someone slams it in his face."
