There might not be an actor in Hollywood that has had a career as insane as Nicolas Cage. Through several massive successes, critical failures, and cult followings, Nicolas Cage has become more than just an actor. Nicolas Cage has become known for wild acting styles, weird personality, and his ability to find diamonds in a sea of independent film scripts. After decades of back and forth success, it seems today Nicolas Cage has ascended traditional Hollywood and has become a genre all his own.

It is disgusting that you are advertising gambling.

[@duffinthemuffin5792]

Cringe and unbased.

[@Dezturbed]

This is disgusting

[@adebh]

I love your work but I hate the harm that gambling does even more. I know that you need to make a living in order to make your informative and thoughtful content. But I cannot continue to watch if it means supporting gambling. I was going to forward this video to a friend, because I thought they would love it. That was until I saw the gambling ad. Now, if the next one also has an ad for gambling, I'll just unsubscribe and block the channel 😢

[@coltclassic45]

Daniel Radcliffe has done a bunch of weird and awesome movies. Might be a Nic Cage adjacent actor.

[@igotagoodfeeling]

Was going to comment this, maybe not as unhinged but willing to take big risks for the sake of fun projects, likely doesn’t need the money so he’s just out there having a blast

[@angrykeeper]

My thoughts exactly.

[@aaronembry9692]

Yeah I was thinking of him or maybe Robert Patinson. But Radcliffe seems more in the same vein as Cage.

[@dfarkhodov]

Agree. However The leagacy of Nic Cage is far beyond of Radcliffe. He is still known only as a Harry Potter while for Cage it took at least dozen of really memorable characters to end up here. I am not saying that Radcliffe is bad he is really good, but he doesn't have that influence to be called the actor who brought Indie films to mainstream

[@TheBeerPug]

This was the first actor to come to mind to take Nic Cage's legacy as described here.

I still blame AVI ARAD for the failure of both GHOST RIDER movies

[@Barrythebarnabas]

For real. That’s why the whole Henry Cavill Witcher thing felt like Deja Vu to me. Nic loved the character of ghost rider and would’ve been a great Johnny Avi knew what to do with his story. But instead we got two near flops that totally undersold the ghost rider’s awesomeness. Poor Witcher fans like Henry watching what some idiots do to good material

I'll always love Nick Cage, I don't care if he's not as "Hollywood" as he used to be, he's still awesome. I used to watch Con-Air ALL the frigin' time back in the 90's. Over and over. I just think he's a very specific actor to handle very specific roles (if he were to stay in Hollywood), but he probably wants to expand and have fun and he can't do that if he's typecast. I don't know what's going on, I'm only guessing...I just wish the best for him and hope he keeps acting until he can't no more.
