The 88-year-old actor Michael Kane has announced that his new film “Best Sellers”, in which he stars with Aubrey Plaza, will be his last, writes Standard News bg.
In the film, which came out on September 17, Kane plays Harris Shaw, a grumbling retired author who embarks on a final tour in support of a young publisher. Kane plays Aubrey Plaza, Scott Speedman, Ellen Wong and Carrie Elves.
The 88-year-old actor has starred in numerous iconic roles, most recently in productions by Christopher Nolan.
In addition to the role of Alfred Pennyworth in the trilogy “The Black Knight”, Kane also starred in “Genesis” and “Tenet” and others. He has been working since 1946, although his career began to gain momentum in the late 1950s. In 1990, she won an Oscar for her role in “Hannah and Her Sisters,” and in 1999, “The Rules of Cedar House.”
For the BBC, Kane explains his decision to give up the acting profession. He cites several reasons, including “a problem with the spine that affects his legs”, the pandemic that hinders the implementation of many projects, and the fact that in most of the projects that are being implemented, there is no “protagonist” who is at the age of 88 “.
He also became a successful author of books, including “Blowing the Bloody Doors Off: And Other Lessons in Life” from 2018. He prefers to write because “as an actor you have to get up at 6:30 in the morning and go in the studio. As a writer, you can start writing without getting out of bed! “
“It’s fun, but this is really my last role. Because I haven’t worked for two years, and I have a problem with my spine, which affects my legs, so I can’t walk very well …
And I also wrote a book, a few books that were published and were successful, so now I’m not an actor, I’m a writer. Which is great, because as an actor you have to get up at 6:30 in the morning and go to the studio. As a writer, you start writing without getting out of bed! Honestly, I haven’t had any suggestions for two years, because no one makes movies in which I want to shoot.
Besides, you know I’m 88 years old. There aren’t many scenarios for a starring role of a man who is 88 years old, do you understand? “, Said the actor.
Unfortunately, this news will come as a shock to Vin Diesel, who wanted Michael Kane to play Helen Mirren’s wife in a future film in the Fast and the Furious series.
Michael Kane’s unadulterated behavior and iconic accent will surely be lacking in the future film world. However, those who have watched and loved Kane for his more than 150 films know very well that he deserved to retire.
