There are bad actors and then there is Nicolas Cage. Some people say that he's the worst actor of all time. Others say that if film had a body, he'd be the cancer that is slowly killing it. I've also heard people say that the Hague is considering bringing him in for crimes against humanity for "Season of the Witch". But I disagree. I think all of these people are just naysayers too busy with their naysayery to see the subtle genius of Nic Cage's acting. Sure, on the surface it looks like he's overacting but what he's really doing is pushing the envelope. All things are circular. If he can go so far enough in the direction of total suckitude, his screeching rabid weasel acting method will loop its way around to being good, see?
I studied theater in college, (because I am collecting useless degrees), and I have learned so much about the craft of Thespis from Mr. Cage. Here are the three biggest lessons in acting Nic Cage taught me:
Nicolas Cage Pays His Long-Overdue DVD Fines! Here’s The Most Ridiculous Offences Committed By Actors
Nic Cage has always seemed like a bit of a loose cannon. Maybe it's because of his slicked-back hair, the roles he's played throughout his career or the fact that his uncle almost killed a man and went half-insane on the set of Apocalypse Now. You can take your pick.
But we never had him down as a robber! Apparently Cage owed the Old Bank DVD store on Main Street in Los Angeles a huge sum of money and staff became so upset with the actors refusal to pay up his debt that they constructed mocked-up shots of his head and superimposed them onto bodies of Andre the Giant and Demi Moore. Which is a bit of a weird punishment if you ask me.
But now Cage has paid his dues and is able to walk the streets a free man. But this isn't the first time a thespian has found his way into the headlines for all the wrong reasons. Here are 5 other actors with bizarre criminal pasts.
