What other actor spans as wide a range as Nic Cage?
Discussion
are there any actors out there who range so far from Oscar-winning excellence to utter bats
t crazy? I know the Michael Caine had a reputation of putting his name to anything that would get a paycheck (and why not?) but his acting remained the same (one might say that MC has pretty much played MC for 67 years). Nic Cage on the other hand is (has been ) a good actor but seems to be a playing his acting career in reverse - most actors get better with age, he seems intent on un-learning his 'craft'

Nic Cage......wide range.........your having a giraffe mate.
my apologies - I wasn't making myself totally clear (not for the first, or indeed last, time). When i said range I was referring specifically to the range of films he's appeared in from the good and/or fun Leaving Las Vegas/Con Air/The Rock to being totally.... errrmmmm... 'wow'/out thereEdited by irocfan on Friday 28th August 11:41

He is an "actor" due to Uncle Francis.
quite possibly - but you can't deny he has made some decent stuffAs for range, Robin Williams had some varied roles, and Tom Hanks has a pretty wide mix of serious and comic parts.

Taking away blockbusters such as Face Off and Conair, his movies like Lord of War were excellent.
Leave Cage alone!! He isn't even a pretty boy, so has done well to sell tickets.
There doesn't tend to be much middle ground with Nic, his films are either really enjoyable or truly terribleLeave Cage alone!! He isn't even a pretty boy, so has done well to sell tickets.
Halle Berry has won both an Oscar (Monsters ball) and a Razzie (Catwoman), I'm guessing a few others have too but I think she was one of the first to actually go to the ceremony and accept her Razzie 
How about Kevin Costner? From Dances with Wolves and JFK to Water World and The Postman

Many others, too. Sean Connery has played many varied roles... all with a Scottish accent! Legend!
A Spaniard with a Scottish accent while the Scotsman had a French accent...RizzoTheRat said:

I know I’ll get flamed but I rather enjoyed The Postman. How about Kevin Costner? From Dances with Wolves and JFK to Water World and The Postman
