10 Actors Who Suffered The Most In 2016
3. Nicolas Cage
Nic Cage should be due for a comeback any day now, but 2016 did remarkably little to further that cause. He was in five (?!) in 2016 alone, four of which went straight to DVD. The only theatrical release – Snowden – was one of the year’s biggest bombs, and he only had a couple of scenes in it.
Indianapolis: Men Of Courage somehow cost $40 million to produce, and earned less than a million back, in addition to a whole lot of terrible reviews. He made two crime movies, one called The Trust with Elijah Wood and the other being Dog Eat Dog with Willem Dafoe. Both movies actually got a few decent notices, but they didn’t cause Cage’s agent to get flooded with offers either.
Finally, there was Army Of One, a true-life comedy where he plays a man who tried to track down Osama Bin Laden. It’s a movie where Russell Brand also appears as God, which should tell you all you need to know about the quality of the humour.
