Maurice Micklewhite is the real name of which person?

Sir Michael Caine (born Maurice Joseph Micklewhite, 14 March 1933) is an English actor, producer, and author who has appeared in over 125 films and is considered to be a British film icon. Known for his distinctive cockney accent, Caine was born in South London, where during his early childhood he and his parents lived in a rented flat on Urlwin Street, in Camberwell, about a mile-and-a-half south of the Elephant and Castle, the bustling London crossroads district referred to in the title of his most recent autobiography.

He made his breakthrough in the 1960s with starring roles in British films, including Zulu (1964), The Ipcress File (1965), Alfie (1966), for which he was nominated for an Academy Award, The Italian Job (1969), and Battle of Britain (1969). In 1986, he received an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in Woody Allen's Hannah and Her Sisters.

Caine is one of only two actors nominated for an Academy Award for acting in every decade from the 1960s to the 2000s (the other one being Jack Nicholson; Laurence Olivier was also nominated for an acting Academy Award in five different decades, beginning in 1939 and ending in 1978). Caine appeared in seven films that featured in the British Film Institute's 100 greatest British films of the 20th century. In 2000, Caine received a BAFTA Fellowship, and was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in recognition of his contribution to cinema.
