This is FRESH AIR.
I'm Terry Gross.
Today, classic films and movie icons from now through Labor Day, we're featuring a series of interviews from our archive with Steven Spielberg, Meryl Streep, Samuel L.
Jackson, Dennis Hopper, Clint Eastwood, Jodie Foster, Molly Ringwald and more.
Later on today's show, we'll hear my interview with Robert Duvall, who played the Corleone family lawyer Tom Hagen in the Godfather movies, and the macho surfing obsessed Colonel Kilgore in Apocalypse now.
We'll start with a british actor who is one of the most distinctive voices in movies, Michael Caine.
But before we hear his voice, well hear from two people imitating his voice.
Here's Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon in their 2010 movie the Trip, competing over who could do the best Michael Caine impression.
Well, broadsheet journalists have described my impressions as stunningly accurate.
Well, they're wrong.
I've not heard your Michael Caine, but I assume it would be something along the lines of, my name's Michael Caine.
That is where you were so wrong.
And you can look at my live video for proof because that's the very thing I don't do.
Did you say that he used to talk like that?
Do you, Michael Caine?
Okay.
