An actor who is physically unable to show restraint when accepting film roles. The quality of the role is reflected in the length of his hair. A neat haircut will surely garner some sort of critical recognition (e.g. Leaving Las Vegas, Lord Of War, Adaptation) One of the few actors in Hollywood to get incrementally worse with each role. Also, he has a tendency to appear in odd publications such as Serbian textbooks and Civil War photographs. He is possibly inhuman, inflicting generations of unsuspecting movie goers for generations to come.
"Nicolas Cage is the finest actor of our generation". -Nicolas Cage, Academy Award speech 1995.

"I'm just glad he was never in the Godfather". -Francis Ford Coppola

"He was an absolute pleasure to work with, truly an extraordinary talent". -The Mop from The Sorcerer's Apprentice

An actor who can only be described as hit and miss, and commonly follows the "rule of 4"... the rule states that any Nicolas Cage movie where Cage has hair longer than four inches will be terrible (Con Air, Bangkok Dangerous), while any in which he has hair shorter than four inches will be good
guy: did you see that Wicker Man remake?
friend: it was awful, Nicolas Cage should really follow the rule of four

A Hollywood actor notorious for accepting questionable roles in movies.

An extremely underrated actor, his range of acting is on full display in the excellent John Woo movie, Face Off where he is tasked with playing 2 completely different characters.

Some of his facial expressions have served as popular Internet memes.

Working on low budget projects has had an adverse affect on his portfolio. No one knows why he accepted such projects.
Person 1 : "Nicolas Cage sucks ass"

Person 2 : "Have you seen Face Off?"

"Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth: both young men, and maidens; old men, and children: let them praise the name of the LORD Nicolas Cage: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven. He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of reddit, a people near unto him. Praise ye the LORD. Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth: both young men, and maidens; old men, and children: let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven."
