There are certain roles of his that are hard to imagine another actor competently doing. Bad Lieutenant Port of Call New Orleans is a classic example.

Cage’s eccentric spending habits extended even beyond real estate. With an eye on his eternal resting place, the actor purchased a nine-foot-tall pyramid tomb, according to CNBC.

He also apparently spent $150,000 on a pet octopus and bought the first Superman comic, also for $150,000.

The actor even bought a 70-million-year-old dinosaur skull for $276,000 — reportedly outbidding fellow actor Leonardo DiCaprio for it — but it turned out to be stolen and he had to return the skull to the Mongolian government.

Cage's CBS interview also revealed that he has a new pet, a monitor lizard that will grow to about six feet (according to its owner). Cage is fond of his "black dragon," and says the experience is "like having a real dinosaur in your house."

he seemed to be on an upswing last i checked on him. i think the shitty movie thing was more of a phase when his career was down and he needed the money. the rensfield movie was decent mostly because he was in it and the unbearable weight of massive talent was pretty good.

He made Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans an amazing 180 homage to the original. The director claims he never watched the original, but anyone who's watched the original can that's pure bullshit. Cage takes all the things that made you cringe during the original and inverts them, so that they become funny. It's like therapy.

He begged the director of The Name of the Rose to let him play William of Baskerville. At the time his reputation was dogshit and hollywood thought he was toxic, but he had read the book and was obsessed with getting the role.

Why isn’t every poast John Krasinski? He was totally fine as goofy average guy in the office and career should have ended there. Instead we are expected to believe that he’s an action hero, scientist, whatever. Even in a comedy role a bunch of random TV actors who went nowhere outperformed him, and he has no gravitas or versatility and always seems like himself standing around while other people act.

I’ll grant that. He also makes good eye contact with the camera. But this is the skill set to be a catalog model, not a leading man in a wide array of high budget movies.

it's a cliche answer to this question but sometimes things are cliche for a reason. he's a terrible actor. he has no draw -- no one has gone to see a movie because it has Ben affleck in it. he's just continually failed upward to the point that him being in a film signals it's major picture. he remains a big name actor only because he managed to establish himself as a big name actor.

There are actors who often appear in many films despite not being universally regarded as the most critically acclaimed performers. This can happen for various intriguing reasons:

Charisma and Screen Presence: Even without traditional acting chops, certain actors have unique charisma or a strong screen presence that makes them appealing to viewers and casting directors alike. Their distinct personalities can be enough to draw audiences.

Typecasting and Familiarity: Some actors become recognizable for particular types of roles or genres, making them a reliable choice when directors need a specific kind of character. This typecasting creates a consistent niche where they are often in demand.

Marketing and Fan Base: Sometimes, actors with a solid fan base bring marketability to a film. Even if their performances aren't critically lauded, their popularity can attract audiences, making them valuable to producers.

Industry Connections: Relationships in the industry can play a significant role. A strong network or collaboration history with particular directors or studios may lead to recurring casting opportunities.

Work Ethic and Professionalism: Some actors gain a reputation for their reliability, punctuality, and adaptability on set, making them go-to choices despite mixed critical reception.

These factors can result in an actor's frequent casting, even if they're not widely praised for their dramatic range or technical abilities.
