Nicolas Cage does not consider himself an actor (actor, in English). As he explained to “Variety”, he prefers to use the term actor (thespian).
“For me, that always means saying, ‘Oh, he’s a great actor, and therefore he’s a great liar,’ the ‘Leaving Las Vegas’ star explained. So, at the risk of sounding like a pretentious asshole, I prefer the term comedian, because comedian means that you go there with your heart, or with your imagination, your memories or your dreams, and you bring something to communicate with the public. “
“The Archangel Saint Michael”
The actor, or rather the comedian, also returned to his performance in the film “Pig”, released in the fall, and his meeting with the director Michael Sarnoski.
“I knew after a few flops I was marginalized in the studio system and they weren’t going to call on me anymore. I always knew that it was going to take a young director to look back, remember some movies that I made and understand that I could be the right person for his script and that he rediscover me, continued. Nicolas Cage. And that’s why it’s not just Michael (Sarnoski). It is the Archangel Saint Michael. “
