He seems like a genuinely polite, charming and well-mannered person.

I mean, if they don't want to answer a question, of course that's their right to not answer that question, but they can just say that too, like he did with the Graceland question. Anyway, nice guy.

[@oscarx-ray3545]

I loved his "next movie" question. He said he's in Renfield, name-dropped the less famous and less-experienced actor, and stated that he is "supporting* Nicholas Holt. That's a classy move right there. He's a quirky dude, but I like his wavelength.

[@rafidsadman]

@@oscarx-ray3545 to be fair Hoult isn't exactly that much less famous than Cage (granted, Cage is pretty much legendary) and when he says he's supporting Hoult it just means Dracula's role in Renfield is that of a supporting character, as opposed to the main character, which is Renfield. Still pretty humble of him to present the fact as it is, though

[@rokaq5163]

This man is as professional as an actor can get. Even when he talks about his lesser known movies or those that sparked criticism or mockery among the masses, he addresses them as his children, as integral parts of what makes him the man he is. Not only that, he clearly pours his heart out in every single role he's in. And calling that attitude "commendable" would be a grave understatement.

Yes, I liked his character arc on this piece.

[@john-paulsilke893]

Nick makes choices in his acting roles. Sometimes the movie isn’t good, but it’s always entertaining. I’d rather be entertained then like the movie. He’s simply awesome.

[@ashleybrooke2087]

I can't honestly say I've seen one of his movies, good or bad, where he was just phoning it in. He brings it all to the table regardless of what's being served.

[@sangvoba4340]

ok

[@cyzcyt]

Not the beeesssss!

[@TheHamburgler123]

That about sums up a majority of his 2010's movie run. Maybe not the best movies overall but Nic is always giving it his all.

[@sandybennett_itsme]

What a great Actor. I've enjoyed every performance he's given. Not every movie has had a great storyline but whatever he appears in, you know his acting is always going to be top shelf. Thanks for what you do!

[@ZoeBateman]

I can't believe people still think he's a bad actor, the truth is that it doesn't matter. What matters is that he's ALWAYS the right casting for the role he plays, regardless of how the project he's in is received critically. (what I mean by that is that I can never think of someone who could have done it better in that role)

[@thecollector427]

He was nominated for two Oscars, won one, he was in a Martin Scorsese movie and in a Ridley Scott movie, he was acclaimed for his performance in Lord Of War and was in a bunch of big summer action movies. He might make a lot of bad movies now, but he definitely has talent and used to be an A-List actor.

[@bendyarms]

I'm glad people seem to really be coming around to Nic's sheer actual talent

[@MarkJacksonGaming]

-- Always liked him. He's been in some bad movies, sure. But he's been in some gems also.

[@shootinputin6332]

Anyone who has ever seen Adaptation never lost faith in him.

[@SlasherIncorporated]

I honestly don't think he's talented as an actor. I've always thought he was a terrible at that. He seems like a nice genuine guy, and can be entertaining, but as far as acting goes...I never thought he gave great performances. He always over-acted and made his characters seem odd and even slightly insane.

@@GunBlade79 Hey, bro, if 343 can make Captain Keyes black, Hollywood can make an Indian man white. Diversity, amiright?

[@Alejandroigarabide]

​@@GunBlade79 In the original Jules Verne's novel his nationality or ethnicity isn't specified. A later spinoff (also by Verne) retconned him to be the prince of Dakar. Therefore, Indian. However, he could play a version of the character that is not Indian. It's not like he's playing a real-life figure. Fictional characters get race-swapped all the time. Besides, the novel is long due for a modern-day adaptation and Nic Cage would be awesome in it.
