FilmographyFilmographyCaine is regarded as a British cultural icon, with Mairi Mackay of CNN stating: "Michael Caine has been personifying British cool since the swinging sixties. He has brought some of British cinema's most iconic characters to life and introduced his very own laid-back cockney gangster into pop culture. He doggedly retained a regional accent at a time when the plummy tones of Received Pronunciation were considered obligatory. It is a sweet irony that his accent has become his calling card."[3] With his distinctive voice and manner of speaking, Caine is a popular subject for impersonators and mimics.[54] Most Caine impressions include the catchphrase "Not a lot of people know that."[3] The catchphrase emanates from Caine's habit of informing people of obscure "interesting facts" that he has collected.[55] Referring to Caine as having the "biggest mind of useless information", Peter Sellers initiated the catchphrase when he appeared on BBC1's Parkinson show on 28 October 1972 and said: Not many people know that. This is my Michael Caine impression. You see, Mike's always quoting from the Guinness Book of Records. At the drop of a hat he'll trot one out. 'Did you know that it takes a man in a tweed suit five and a half seconds to fall from the top of Big Ben to the ground?' Now there's not many people who know that![56] "I kept my cockney accent in order to let other working class boys know that if I made it they could do it too."
