After making his mainstream acting debut in 1981, you would think that Nicolas Cage has done every kind of movie he possibly can. But that’s not the case. Despite his quick rise as a prominent and well-established actor, Cage still hasn’t done a musical.
The much meme’d actor has accomplished a lot over his career and has played a variety of roles. Breaking into Alcatraz, swapping faces with John Travolta, stealing the Declaration of Independence, and even did a great job playing himself in the comedy Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. But, two types of roles have eluded him so far, with one of them being scratched off the list in September with the release of the western Butcher’s Crossing. With a career spanning its fifth decade and countless spy thrillers, military and Christmas movies, and comic book flicks, is there something Nicolas Cage hasn’t done?
@xfire.com Here’s why Nicolas Cage wants to do a musical #nicolascage #foryou #fyp #trending #viral
Despite making a name for himself with serious roles and action-packed blockbusters, there is one particular genre missing from Cage’s portfolio of movies.
In a recent interview with Empire for the Greatest Actors issue, Nicolas Cage talked about a massive hole in his resume:
I haven’t done a musical yet. I’d like to try that. I’m not much of a singer. I did sing okay in Wild at Heart, I thought, but I’ve since blown my voice out singing “Purple Rain” incorrectly in karaoke bars. I think I’d make a good Pontius Pilate in Jesus Christ Superstar.
Cage might already have a musical in mind that would go on his acting bucket list, but he definitely has no shortage of work coming up. The audience will soon get a chance to see him playing Dracula in a dark comedy called “Renfield” and he has at least three more films that are in the post-production stage. He’s also currently filming “Sands and Stones” while the second of his two recent western movies called “The Old Way” is set to premiere in theaters on January 26.
