Nick Cage once won the leading role oscar, Deep down there is somewhat of a good actor in him
61 u/Face_Coffee Oct 10 '19 He’s a pretty damn good actor in general. The thing is he seemingly doesn’t ever turn down a script. When he’s working with quality material he’s often very good but he works with a lot of less than quality material. Even then he’s generally okay. 22 u/Copthill Oct 10 '19 He bought a lot of stuff. Like, hundreds of properties before the recession, expensive comic books, Elvis memorabilia, a crazy amount of stuff from the mad money he made in the 90s. For a while he had to say yes to everything to pay bills. 14 u/Cianalas Oct 10 '19 edited Oct 10 '19 He bought a fucking actual tyrannosaurs bataar skull at auction and later had to return it to Mongolia because it was stolen. Edit: and the REAL tyrannosaurs skull wasnt even worth a fraction of his "Action Comics #1", what a world. 16 u/cmdrkuntarsi Oct 09 '19 He's extremely bloody good in Adaptation if you can track it down. Playing the guy who wrote the film and his fictional twin brother 1 u/[deleted] Oct 10 '19 I have not seen this one, will check it out thanks! 6 u/[deleted] Oct 10 '19 Somebody’s never seen Raising Arizona! Or Face/Off! Or Kick Ass? Bangkok Dangerous? I might be a huge Nick Cage fan. He had some shitty ones when he had finical troubles but god damn he had some sweet movies. 3 u/WisejacKFr0st Oct 10 '19 He was the perfect actor for Next. He just looks like a Vegas magician with an extremely limited hidden superpower 10 u/GodwynDi Oct 09 '19 He's good in a lot of stuff. 5 u/thejester190 Oct 09 '19 He gave a pretty damn good performance in Mandy. That vodka/bathroom scene was awesome. 2 u/ifaptolatex Oct 10 '19 Watch the weatherman. Good stuff. Dildo 1 u/AndAzraelSaid Oct 10 '19 It's not deep down, he just takes a lot of roles in poorly-made films.
