Nicolas Cage is presently the embodiment of "I will accept any job I can get."
From 1995 through 2008, Cage was one of the most successful, diligent, and in-demand performers. He sought to shed his comedy and drama image after winning the Oscar for "Leaving Las Vegas" in 1995 and made "The Rock," which was released in 1996. As a result, he became known as an action star and enjoyed a streak of box office successes like "Con Air," "Face/Off," and "National Treasure."
But he was spending money more quickly than he was earning it. He purchased actual castles. When his finances began to dry up, he filed a lawsuit against his financial advisers, who were then required to demonstrate in court that they had warned Cage that his spending was out of hand and had recommended him not to make those acquisitions.
As a result, Cage has spent the previous ten or so years primarily working in subpar films, putting out many projects each year, mostly to make ends meet. Although he has a few notable star turns (Kick-Ass, Spider-Man into the Spiderverse), he mostly only accepts jobs that pay well.
