      I was thinking the same exact thing 13 minutes yep that's about the longest. Time you're going to get his attention before he starts going off on something now I would find it so amusing and I would just sit there for like hours maybe days observing him and there's a movie that came out last year I think about a fan that has like his whole life is surrounded around his love for Nick Cage is Obsession for him. And in the movie Nick Cage plays himself and he goes finally to visit this fanatic. I can't remember the name of it but it's definitely different movie but then again so is he. God bless his heart

      The problem is when directors don't know how to handle his acting, when they just let him go the extra mile for a character that doesn't need it. He can be quiet, subtle and calm, but the director has to give the actor directions. It's the same for other actors known for very powerful, passionate styles that just dominate every scene.

Ever since the first Nic Cage 'Vegas' movie ("Honeymoon in" not "Leaving") he is consistently the most relatable yet somehow the most extraordinary personality on any screen. No matter what script and story line he sometimes gets stuck with he makes every movie better just by being in it, and has another dimension and quality, to any role that nobody else can ever match.

His character never thinks to much He just gets it done by any means necessary pushing things over and over. And in the end when it all comes crashing down he's saved by the fact of who he is and the risks he's willing to take. In the movie he's saved by the fact the government needs a risk taker that can do things they can't be seen doing.

      Mandy and Colour are amazing. I love how he's gone into the more indie movie scene. Not to downplay his mainstream movies like Con Air, which is one of my favourite action movies, but the stuff he's doing now, and even his older works like Wild At Heart are some of the best Cage.

    I’ll never meet him or know him personally. I very much appreciate his artistic choices and their impact on my life. He’s been in every type of movie covering the full spectrum (as I can comprehend it as an audience) of movies. Big budget mainstream, low budget, comedy, drama, art house. He’s taken risks and lived his life. When I was younger I thought he might be losing his mind. Decades later I’m very appreciative of his work and find his journey in life to be inspirational.
    If I ever met him at some random moment, I’d just thank him for his work and shake his hand. As a blue collar guy I don’t have a lot of money to spend on entertainment and have always had a good time with his movies. Some were fun, some make you think. Good times.
