if you notice, Cage also employs that “nervous tick” that you hear in his voice as he’s reading the story... much like the narrator himself is diseased with in the short story. He’s such an incredibly underrated actor, one of the best of our time indeed.
I don’t know if you saw the Community episode but they asked Nicolas Cage good or bad actor, this proves good actor this proves he is a good actor. I believe the episode is introduction to teaching
I read this for prose contests when I was in HS. Almost the same way: same pacing, same inflection. Seeing as he's had a successful acting career--and I haven't--he clearly was better. Must be because he's 8 months older and had a head start.
I like all the movies I've seen him in, personally. He's had his better ones, like all actors do, but they're usually entertaining/ fun to watch, and given how {unless a role's specifically written for 'em} competetive Hollywood is, they'll have to take what they can get, at the "risk" of a movie turning out shit and thus, being overlooked for future roles. But if the script's there, clearly he can deliver. However, if said script is bad, why not make their own changes, if it's for the better? I guess that option's off if they don't wanna step on "Hollowtoes" and doing their job for 'em, and so risk it for the cash and run, hoping for the best? Sounds extremely frail. When it comes to reputation, I guess it's risk vs reward 'til the next big gig comes along... if it ever does. Thaaaaat's showbiz!

I don't watch much Nicholas Cage, but I really enjoyed him in Kickass. His death was a greatly done scene. He made that movie 100% - the second movie was shit.
lol, this can't really be a cold reading right? if the actor has read the poem dozens of times, can it ever be cold again? Heck, I bet this wasn't even the first time he's performed it.
Nicolas Cage is a world treasure. I genuinely love his movies and performances.
*National Treasure ;)

He is not underrated, he is not overated he is beloved the most accurately.
Seriously, we don't deserve Nicolas Cage and we don't appreciate him nearly enough.
Been saying this for decades
^Shameless plug.
***** edgy
What are you talking about for years I went to see him in anything even awful movies just to be supportive. He has very loyal fans. Who deserve him.
One of the most underrated actors, appreciate his craziness that's what makes him unique.
Everything about this guy's work is amazing. A true treasure put on this earth for all of us to enjoy.
A national treasure...
Brandon KAIHO' Lagaert Boom!
is he reading a passage from his... national treasure 2 book of secrets
He is truly the best of the best.
He reminds me of something Hunter S Thompson said...gods own prototype too weird to live too rare to die.
Nic Cage is a national treasure. My favorite actor, next to Bruce Campbell.
You do realise that means he has to steal himself, somehow.
This would probably get more up-votes without the second sentence.
Generic Username yes and it will be epic especially if Quentin Tarantino directed it.
I see what you did there
Nicolas Cage was born to read this. The ending is the epitome of a Cage Freak-Out.
I read this for prose contests when I was in HS. Almost the same way: same pacing, same inflection. Seeing as he's had a successful acting career--and I haven't--he clearly was better. Must be because he's 8 months older and had a head start.
wow this guy has a great voice. he should be an actor.
Love you forever, Nic Is the greatest talent in the world, I love and admire infinitely
This is the greatest thing I have ever seen.
That was one of my daughter's Gcse on line courses .. she loved it .
BRAVO, this is my idea of a wedding speech, and so passionately delivered! What a Gentleman.🏆🇬🇧
10:46 - The CAGE takes over!
This is the best thing I’ve ever witnessed
Cage likes Poe? That's dope.
I love this man! His quirks only make him more fascinating!
Behold, I give you Nic Cage, The 8th Wonder of the World!
Is Nicolas Cage reading Poe or his autobiography?
Welp looks like the universe just graced me with a new Halloween tradition.
what an incredible performance!
Every his performance is a Diamond in a wrld of the art!!!!!!! 💟 💟 💟 💟
I didn’t ever know that I needed Nicholas Cage to read a Tell-Tale Heart to me ❤️🔥😮
Well done sir, well done.
This is perfect
Please Nic, come to the Alamo Drafthouse in Yonkers, NY and give us another cold reading of Edgar Allan Poe and a Q&A!
Wait...the old mans soul is dancing!
Jesus Christ! I have never been so terrified listening to Tell-Tale Heart
He rushed through the reading like he was nervous.
He should do more voice work
Great actor!!!!
Where's the 45min Q&A??
Let me know if you find it
www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/nic-cage-festival-nic-cage-short-story-nic-cage-a7553871.html
maybe that is why his con-air character is named cameron poe
This needs to be the voice over of a black & white silent film starring Cage Rage himself...
I am glad I watched to the end.
GLORIOUS
I love him so much
Cage slays
... and to think, some say he can't act? Poor direction or script I feel is more likely the case, than lack of talent.
piss poor choppy editing also is an occasional factor.

Thaaaaat's showbiz!

I don't think there is another author that Nic Cage is *perfect* for than Poe.
What a sir.
Nicolas Cage might just be the last true Performance Artist in Hollywood...
at least recognized for the brilliance that he possesses
But why would you say I was mad?
As an English teacher...holy fkn shit!!!
Slow it down to .5 and you get drunk Nic Cage for bonus awesome.
Cage is the man!
I don't watch much Nicholas Cage, but I really enjoyed him in Kickass. His death was a greatly done scene. He made that movie 100% - the second movie was shit.
Frank Lucas totally agree. even the comic books were shit. that first movie is the only decent kickass related thing on the planet
For real though, who got to eat that cake?
Pay no heed to the cake, for tis but a lie.
Классно прочитал, настоящий подарок фанатам) Не думаю что на этом фестиваль закроется, но может быть сделает перерыв.
"I shall serve no fries before their time"
amazing
The god speaks out
I was Nic's Stand In for 15 years! Come check out my channel where I make podcasts with people I have worked with in the Film and TV Industry!
Cool video
If only we can get Shia Labeouf to narrate The Tell Tale Heart

Heck, I bet this wasn't even the first time he's performed it.
Shinji-ikari-ish

My high school drama class did better readings of this story.
