The Insane Career of Nicolas Cage

From Face/Off to The Rock, from Leaving Las Vegas to National Treasure, Nicolas Cage has done what most actors only dream of: win an Oscar and scream his way through a flaming B-movie while wearing snakeskin boots and no irony whatsoever. This is the full rollercoaster breakdown of Nicolas Cage’s career — from indie goofball to ’90s action god, to straight-to-DVD chaos machine, and back to critically acclaimed cult icon. We’re talking Con Air, Adaptation, Pig, Color Out of Space, Mandy, Ghost Rider, and yes... The Wicker Man. Bees included. He’s an Oscar winner, a meme legend, a method-acting maniac, and somehow, still underrated. Along the way, Cage turned down the Lord of the Rings, tried to fight crime in Kick-Ass, almost played Superman, and yes — once bought a castle, a dinosaur skull, and 15 houses. Some call him brilliant. Some call him insane. The truth is probably somewhere between 1920s German Expressionism and National Treasure 3. Also — yeah, I probably got something wrong. Internet Cageologists will crucify me in the comments.
