Michael Caine has been professionally acting since the early 1950s, and while older generations likely know him best from movies like Alfie and the original version of The Italian Job, younger folks certainly haven’t had any trouble finding him in cinematic settings, such as his time as Alfred Pennyworth in Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy.

With Free Guy, producer/director Shawn Levy and star/producer Ryan Reynolds raised the bar in more ways than one.
