10 Great Acting Careers Accidentally Ruined By Legendary Directors

5. Nicolas Cage - Face/Off

The culprit? John Woo. Now what kind of a list would this be without Nicolas Cage? Don't get me wrong, Face/Off is one of my favorite movies. Cage is great in it, Woo does a great job directing it. But it seems to me that ever since then Cage has just gotten crazier, and crazier....and crazier... and crazier...but we all love him anyway. Nicolas Cage is awesome, no matter if he's making the most craptastic movies of all time or not.

You keep on truckin', Ghost Rider! I personally believe that Cage just loves to work and act, and so as long as a part or a script or a director intrigues him, he'll do it. And I can actually see it in a lot of the films he's done. Unfortunately a lot of the time what he thinks might be fun to do might not gel with what moviegoers think will be fun to watch. I personally don't care, as Nic Cage owns everything he touches, whether good or bad, he is unabashed and hard-working, and I applaud him. For me, it's like looking in a mirror, only.... not.
