It’s crazy to think that Nic Cage has been acting long enough to be on the Dick Cavett Show. Almost like two distinct eras of pop culture time traveling to meet each other.
Very well said. So true.
He is the modern day Marty mcfly haha
He is very handsome in an unusual way. Everything about him is unusual, including the way he expresses his ideas. He comes across as intelligent and sincere. I never understand why the press give him such a hard time.
Cage is one of our most important and gifted actors. He may love his craft more than any other star in Hollywood history. He continued to work even when he wasn't getting offered A-list projects very often, and now we are seeing him enjoying an extraordinary renaissance. He's four decades into his career now, and I think he will continue to achieve greatness for many years to come.
He's far more interesting, unpredictable, engaging then the bland matinee A list guys. It's almost as if the studios want bland because it's safe. He also has an endearing sweetness for a guy which is such a relief from Eastwood, Wayne bad ass which American guys idolize and I can't stand, though I'm a guy.
Thank you for saying this. He is just sublime. He did a lot of not so good movies to pay for millions of debts to the IRS. He only fully paid all debts with money from The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. He said in an interview he can afford to be selective now with his roles.
Nicholas Cage was and still is so wittily funny, fun, cool, sexy, and talented. I'll always love and respect him.
I've always thought he is a nice looking/beautiful man. Especially his eyes.
For years, I couldn't help remembering the scent of a hair gel he used. It was sweet and heavy like the smell of cemetery flowers.
He's a vampire
Absolutely! Before he changed his teeth & did other things to his face/hair he was gorgeous.
Hahaha, YOU?!!!!
Birdy, Raising Arizona, Moonstruck, Wild at Heart, Red Rock West, Bringing Out the Dead, Adaptation... Nicster is one of the greats, despite his chequered reputation.
"Cage is a good actor in good movies, and an almost indispensable actor in bad ones."
- Roger Ebert
I saw Mandy (2018) recently... amazing
@rxp56 have you seen Adaptation (2002)?
I would highly recommend Racing w the Moon, where Nic is with Sean Penn. Such a sweet movie, probably made around the time of this interview (maybe earlier).
Leaving Las Vegas.
Adaptation and Leaving Los Vegas were great performances but he really turned The Wicker Man and that vampire movie unintentionally hilarious. Well I think Nick Cage intentionally did ridiculous things since he knew the films were trash.
He sounds like Ross.
More like Ross sounds like him
Haha
Suman Hazra who’s Ross?
@@outsideofvegas A character from the renowned tv series "FRIENDS".
Suman Hazra hahaha I figured
There is no edge. Poetry just flows out of this man. Please dont leave us or if you really have to please please write a memoir.
Smooth operator. Sweet fella. Smart and suave. And Dick's a charmer, too. 😊💗😊
He's a great guy. Never afraid to be who he is
Moonstruck, Nick was so fine 💯
Jesus christ how old is Nick Cage. You can't deny his early stuff and national treasure is awesome.
National treasure is awesome? What?! hahahha
He'll be 57 January 7th
@@davefx7949 yes it is
I think his greatest role will always be Adaptation. The fact he could play such an absurd role in a way that was funny and sad and subdued was incredible.
One of the greatest actors of the last 40 years.
kill me, this version of Nic is super. cute.
P K um have u seen raising arizona?
he’s beautiful
Thanks for your support love and care... how are you?
Would you like some water?
3:08 "I go to a museum..."
What a National Treasure...
He wants to be Picasso.
I always felt that Nicolas Cage and Klaus Kinski had very similar ways of acting. Expressionistic and extreme.
Very interesting, never thought of that before.
Cage was just on Colbert talking about how he got to lean into that sort of expressionistic acting in Vampire's Kiss which he loved and then carried it over to Face Off
The “secretaries” were dying to meet him? Where are you Alva?!? There your are!! It’s a terrible job. 😂
Vampires Kiss! 😆 love that movie I remember dropping acid and watching it on VHS back in 1993
Bottom of the totem pole.
A young Nicolas Coppola
Cage.
@@mattdavis911Coppola. Coppola is his real name. He’s the nephew of Francis Ford Coppola.
@@BrentWilkins7777Uncle Francis kept badgering Nicholas to take the role of Charlie in "Peggy Sue", which turned out to be a solid commercial and critical hit for Coppola, at a time when his films weren't hits or making much money.
Nicholas didn't want to do it and turned it down but Francis got his way by allowing Nicholas to play the role in the eccentric way that he did.
@@mattdavis911It probably won't surprise you to learn that Nicky Coppola (in his first few acting credits he used his birth name) took the name of a favorite comic book superhero for his stage name: Luke Cage.
Jason Schwartzman is Nicholas' cousin (mother Talia Shire; father Jack Schwartzman).
Tons of talent in the Coppola family, with Francis' father being a composer, who scored the Godfather films.
Real actors having interesting and meaningful conversations about the craft of acting, Da Vinci, Miles Davis… Miss those days.
I like to see the clip they showed. :) Thanks for uploading.
nic cage know what he is doing and what risks he took
Please upload the rest of the interview with Carol Kane. I love her and she doesn't get enough attention
Oh thank you that's who the actress is
so handsome and nice
actor
Hes always clearing his throat in these old interviews cause coke was plentifull and awesome back in the day
Was wondering-- I was already sober in 86
Incidentally, Melanie Griffith constantly clears her throat in _Working Girl_ (1988) and it drove me insane! 😂
THE CAGE PLAYING THE CAGE IS COMING!!!
reminding you of this. coming up in april babyyyyy.
2:09 That is so Nicolas Cage, i bet no other actor or HUMAN on earth does that
Taking risks, being unpopular, over the top, unrealistic it was all part of cage plan to change the art of acting forever
What did it change? Who followed? How did he inspire?
Sometimes those things are just bad. Not part of some grand scheme.
@@RylzMunkister youre not picking something up here.
@@RylzMunkister Nobody, because everyone thought the 90s was going to be revolutionary, and then it wasn’t. Cage thought he was ahead of his time. Truth was he was born too late.
Proof that Nic Cage knows precisely what he's doing... Allow me to present exhibit A.
He's really a genius, there was always a plan to his insanity
Intensely beautiful man.
Carol Kane ftw.
God he’s hot. I have LOVED him since 1983. When I was at the Beverly Center in the late 80’s...I heard his voice. I turned....and there he was. I FROZE. My boyfriend at the time went and got his autograph for me. He waved and I LITERALLY couldn’t breathe. I also saw him coming out of his apartment when my best friend and I went looking at stars homes. We followed/ chased him and got next to him and SCREAMED and he took off thru a red light to get away. Man....we were OVER the moon.
Thanks for your love and support and also being one of my top fan I really appreciate you a lot 🤗❤

Seems like that was a pretty amazing time to live in Hollywood.
Oh Nicolas 🥰
9:07
When you say you don’t like Nicolas Cage movies, but haven’t seen them...
here you can see the cage beginning to emerge
Racing the Moon was one of his best films. Birdy was good. Raising Arizona was one of the first dark comedies I enjoyed. Bringing out the Dead was pretty sad. good movie.
Those eyes! He was so hot in valley girl ❤ love him even tho half his movies are trash 😂
flock of seagulls phase
Look at that hair.
YoseiHito looks just like urs
Nice My favorite Hollywood Actor 🌟🌟🌟
Nicolas cage 👈👍👍😊
Wow young nick Cage
Man I love him
He looks and sounds like Ross from Friends
Cavett was the best interviewer
This is interesting to see him this young. And a little less crazy. Also I see the Robert Mitchum reference at least when Mitchum was young. Lastly..have fun storming the castle!
"Lastly..have fun storming the castle!" Haha, glad I'm not the only one who thought of that when I saw Carol Kane!
I always wonder how Dick Cavett had a career. I love Cage's subtle but honest reactions to all the subtle insults, judgments, and sexism that Cavett spews.
Nicholas cage’s hair looks like his career feels
His greatest role was as a pizza restaurant worker in 1982's Fast Times at Ridgemont High when he was 18.
Luv him
I liked him in "Matchstick Men".
Milkman4279 he was good in lord of war too
Yep, he was good in that too.
Nicolas cage acting genes he was in classic films
Cage Fighting 9:05
Carol Kane was a dish.
Happy birthday nicolas from italian boy live in rome
Thanks
He is such an odd genius.
Vastly underrated actor
Really? By whom?
What is the Picasso painting he's referring to?
👑
I thought I hated him in the Wicker Man. But I did watch the whole thing...
Carol Kane is pretty awesome
Nic looks like the vampire feom twilight.
Is this the old lady from the series "Hunters" the bomb expert, she has the same way of talking waaw
Mandragora, Diamond 💎✨✨✨✨✨ Mister Nikolas Cage, Legenda ❤️ 🤠☀️🌟 👑 ☮️💓
Nicholas cage in 1986 looked like chad kroeger in 2022
Elliot Gould next, please
He’s a god. I love his fluffy hair.
have nothing against the other celebs that were on this show but is this channel ever going to show the Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Jackie Gleason or Art Carney? How about any Honeymooners actors that were part of the main cast? These are rarities much like these.
and Carol Kane
King of Memes
As the south Atlantic accent made its way out in the late 80s, the drozy sleepy voice made its way in!
He was only 22 here?!
Uvek je bio cool i siguran u sebe. I nenadjebiv.
Randy that dude from Hollyweird?
how'd it get burned
HOW DID IT GET BURNED, HOW DID IT GET BURNED!!!!
A little bit Clive Owen-ish here
Hard to believe that he's only 22 years old in this interview...
Wow😂😂
No wonder he played his young self in Lord of War
Doesn't sound right
@@papichefitup This interview was in 1986 and Nicolas Cage was born in 1964. He always looked much older... premature balding. Of course after he got hair transplants many years ago, he started looking younger.
I agree. Nicolas has always looked 40 y.o. both in his 20 and now in his 58.
@@Grazimoto1 he looks 22 to me
The date this was published is when he was Born Again.
If I were Nicolas, and I had a son, I would name him, 'Faraday'.
Who is the other guest?
The great Carol Kane.
That's Latka's girlfriend Simpka.
Helen Porchnik
Yes, Dick, "future acting" revolves around the fact that later in my career my name will become a punch line.
Pfffft whatever bud, nic cage is and has always been amazing
Had no idea that Dick Cavett was on TV for so long.
I preferred him in the early 70's.
NOO NOOO NOT THE BEES AHHH NOOO
😂😂😂😂✊wicker man
Nick Cage's acting guide:
1. Don't rehearse or read the script beforehand.
2. Take several lines of coke seconds before filming.
3. Every other scene squirt lime or lemon juice directly into your eyes.
4. Ride the snake.
5. Say and do anything if someone is paying you.
malenotyalc And you know all of this, how? Oh. Because you just like making stuff up? Okay. Got it. Where is your first standup comedy show. I don't want to miss it.
@@gwarlow Agree. Dude is good.
Gordon Warlow sensitive
That old lady is giggling at everything young nic is saying. Good ol' Halo effect in action.
That “old lady” is Carol Kane and she is in her 30s in this clip. And she is amazing.
Lmao "old lady" she was young here
He looks little bit like Ross from friends
No. He just talks like Ross.
Mans was high asf
Thanks for your love and support and also being one of my top fan I really appreciate you a lot 🤗❤

What’s the lady’s name
Carol Kane ❤
Bette Davis
He would tell me to mind my own business, but I hate the fact that he wasn't able to have a better movie career than what he has had. I loved him in Raising Arizona though and in Con Air and in Leaving Las Vegas (I think it was called). Hmm, that's a pretty good list. Maybe it was a better career than I what I thought. I don't know.
Face/off
Leaving Las Vegas
Con air
Wild at heart
Adaptation
Bringing out the dead
Joe
Bad lieutenant
The rock
Red Rock west
To name a few....
Dude he is still making good movies to this day
He is one of the most unique actors of all time
This guy discover Johnny Depp .. Believe it or not.
Not only did he discover Depp, but as Depp recounted when he was on the Actors Studio years ago, he was the one who encouraged Depp to pursue acting.
2:45 is what it's all about
3:27 what do you believe?!
6:56 in 2021
Reminds me of Keanu Reeves
I keep thinking Ryan Gosling could play him
"Who is shay?"
I loved him in the Wickerman...smirk...
sounds like timothée chalamet
weird kink but okay
@@FrenchToast663 ??? they're literally just saying he has a similar voice
Come head cage lol
KILLING ME WON'T BRING BACK YOUR GODDAMN HONEY!!! (Lookout For The Future, Nic)
That movie was meant to be intentionally comedic, the audience took it the wrong way and thought it was meant to be serious.
Nic Cage has even said this himself
I wonder if Peter Loew was conceived after a trip to Toys R Us...
😬🤣
Ghost Rider was awesome!!! Jk
gee, i guess cavett was part of the machine after all
