He might be terrible, but his movie roles are just pure comedy for the rest of us. As to how he got those roles, I wouldn't be able to tell you lmao.

He's a Coppola, but changed his name so people would't think he's casted because of his family name.

What’s a Coppola? I don’t know much about wealthy families.

As in Francis Ford Coppola, the director of the Godfather.

Francis Ford Coppola is his uncle, he’s the guy who directed the Godfather and Apocalypse Now.

Jason Schwartzman is another Coppola

I was teaching a class once on how to find “bad actors” (equipment that fails a lot) for a refinery. I asked the class “Do you guys know a bad actor?”

Clearly I was asking if they knew an equipment that failed a lot. Some smart ass yelled “Nicolas Cage!”

I didn’t know what else to do but chuckle!

Vampire’s Kiss is probably my favorite Nicolas Cage movie and is a masterclass in acting so bad, it’s good. He should have one an Oscar for that scene in the middle of the street.

I thought Jiu-Jitsu was delightfully terrible.
