His uncle is one of the most articulate directors, and he is one of the most articulate actors. The good thing with Cage is, he is interesting to watch even in his run-of-the-mill action movies because he brings in a bit of that Kinski/Lynch madness into it. Of course, in his good movies, he is one of the best actors of his generation. He should have won the 2002 Best Actor Oscar ahead of Brody and even Day-Lewis. He was exceptional in 'Adaptation.'

Where as Nic wants to grasp us in that old-school movie magic of acting and verbal performance, Tom is in my opinion the last of the Superstars who still believes in Movie Magic. That feeling when you're watching a film and just whisked away by the grandiosity of it all. Like in all the late 80s, early 90s blockbuster films.

Did anyone notice how he never takes credit for a performance, but always praises the director in every case? This is the kind of person Nick Cage really is. Authentic and humble. I had the pleasure of working with him for only a brief period of time, in a nothing part. But six months later, when I ran into him at the premier of "Honeymoon in Vegas," not only did he remember me, BUT EXACTLY WHAT I WAS WEARING!! I attributed this to only three possible things. First, that he was incredibly impressed with my acting. Second, that he had a photographic memory. Or third, that he was just an extraordinarily thoughtful person. I think it was just his super human memory and attention to detail, but I like to fantasize that it was all three. This is a truly fine actor and sweet man, a rarity in Hollywood.

And the laugh was contagious. And I always liked him as a lead actor going all the way back to Valley Girl. He’s very charming. And at times strange in some roles. I even like to see him in films that were duds. He’s always interesting and taking chances. It’s hit or miss but it’s exciting to watch. He’s like a tightrope Walker without a Net. Con Air is great! I enjoyed that movie even though Malkovich stole the film. He was great as Cyrus the Virus. I’ve watched it repeatedly.
