Nicolas Cage Reveals The One Role He'd Still Love To Play
Actor Nicolas Cage reveals which character still remains a dream role for him. With a filmography that stretches back to 1981, Cage has a career filled both with massive successes and spectacular failures, with general audiences forever divided on whether Cage is in fact a good actor. This, of course, has not hurt Cage's image, but rather propelled him to the level of Hollywood Legend.
In fact, his most recent film, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, brings the actor back into the spotlight, as it leans very hard on this cultivated, mysterious persona.

While The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent has yet to be released, early reviews for the film have already praised it heavily, leading many to feel inspired to revisit some of the most iconic Cage performances.
