nope, sorry but nic cage does not suck. While he suffered some from his ill fated marraige to Lisa Marie/her father, his track record is too sound.
Below find my points:
1) he was in Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Only a stoner extra to Sean Penn, but an awesome role
2) His work in Leaving Las Vegas was amazing. He spoke to drunks everywhere, and even successfully conveyed the tragic hero-ness of hopeless drunks
to non-drunks. PLus he was just damn good.
3) skipping lots of movies here, he was incredible in Adaptation. What an amazing feat, playing two roles with such clear distinction
4) going back some, in Face Off, he was a better Travolta than travolta. While the concept was not that cool, and the movie was OK, having to play
himself half the time and Travolta the other half, and to do it so convincingly was awesome
Other actors that are cool: Cusack, Eric Stoltz, and even Mark Walberg.
