Woe Is Me: Nicolas Cage

Glory Days (The mid 90's)
After reading The Angry Lurker's latest post I got to thinking about Nicolas Cage. Poor bastard. He's become one of the sickest jokes in Hollywood. The dude has (had?) the chops to be a great actor and has delivered some amazing performances over his career (Raising Arizona, Leaving Las Vegas, Adaptation) as well staring in huge box office blockbusters (The Rock, Con-Air, Face/Off). Unfortunately something has gone awry. I believe there is a direct correlation between the loss of Nic Cage's hair and the massive nosedive of his film career. He's seems more focused on wearing RIDICULOUS wigs/hairpieces these days than picking a decent script. This video showcases the tragedy that is Nicolas Cage. Poor bastard.

    Funny video, I always liked his hair when it was all wild. Raising Arizona was awesome.

    Comparing Raising Arizona to the Sorcerer's Apprentice / Wicker Man is crazy....

    Also, why does Hollywood keep casting him as an action hero? He clearly isn't.

    I agree to a certain extent... I mean, he still is an A list actor. But, yeah, he's sliding towards that B list. Really fast.

    That compilation of Cage haircuts must have taken a lot of effort to splice together.

    I agree with you about his selection of roles being highly suspect. I'm tempted to blame it on his recent money troubles but Wicker Man came out well before he ran out of cash as far as I know. Maybe it is his hair.

    Blame the receding hairline. Good actor and agree with everything.
