On October 17, according to foreign media reports, 88-year-old British actor Michael Kane announced his retirement in a radio show, and the film "Best Salesman" released in North America on September 17 was his last film. Kane revealed that his spine condition is not too good and has affected his legs, causing walking difficulties. He has written several books and said: "I'm a writer now, not an actor. ”
"Best Salesperson" tells the story of an ambitious young editor (Praza) and a writer (Kane) who embark on a wild book-selling journey to save a boutique publishing house. In the film, Kane plays a writer who, coincidentally, became a writer in his life and published several books. As an actor, he had to get up at half past six in the morning to go to the studio; and as a writer, he didn't need to get out of bed to start writing.

In recent years, he has been known to more young audiences as the "Nolan Royal Drama Bone".
In an interview with the BBC, Kane explained the reasons for retirement, which included physical (spinal problems affect walking) and other factors. In fact, he hadn't worked for two years because no one had sincerely invited him and there wasn't a script he wanted to make, because most scripts didn't have an 88-year-old male lead.
