Cageing It

A derivative of 'Phoned It In', 'Cageing It' is when an actor gives the most outlandish and ridiculously over the top performance possible; generally under the assumption that the film they're starring in is going to be terrible regardless of what they do (and they hate themselves a little for even being in it), and that the director is unwilling or unable to stop them from doing whatever they want.

Named for the over the top performances typified by Nicolas Cage.

Nicolas Caging 

The act of gradually destroying your own success, or burning up your good will.

Even though Nicolas Cage is one of the highest paid celebrities in the world, the actor is broke and lives paycheck-to-paycheck to afford his millionaire lifestyle (he owns castles, plural). So now the more terrible movies he does (just to get paid), the more people forget what they liked about him. He's downward spiraling. He's Nicolas Caging.

AKA the slow, humiliating Crash and burn.
"How's my new job going? Honestly, I should update my resume, because I am just Nicolas Caging this thing into the ground."

"Our first date was going really well, but then I told her like a hundred knock-knock jokes. Yeah, she pretty much lost interest once I started Nicolas Caging..."

"Did you hear about that guy who won the lottery and is now on welfare? That's some hard-core Nicolas Caging right there."
