Natural and believable

Michael Caine is one of those well-established actors who does justice to just about every role he plays. I think a true actor or actress is one who makes you forget he is acting, and Caine is a brilliant example. His deliverance is so fluid and effortless that you truly believe that he is his character. I especially like his work in comedies such as "Hannah and Her Sisters." He is good at being immediately likeable, despite the fact that his character is engaging in shameless acts such as adultery and dishonesty. A class act.
