I assume most of you know.. Nicolas Cage is the nephew of both Frances Ford Coppola and Talia Shire (Yo Adrian)...
and the cousin of directors Roman Coppola and Sofia Coppola, film producer Gian-Carlo Coppola, and actors Robert Carmine and Jason Schwartzman.
now does it make sense

oh my, talk about nepotism... and a hook into every mega comedian in the last 45 years...

Mitzi Shore owned The Comedy Club
Who got their start there: Robin Williams, Richard Pryor, David Letterman, Jay Leno, Roseanne Barr, Chris Rock, Jim Carrey, Whoopi Goldberg and on and on...
Outrageous drug parties... and Pauly grew up watching it all
So many folks owed Mitzi... thus... Pauly Shore

I often think he and Nick Cage are the exact same actor. When they can reign themselves in, they can be outstanding (Leaving Las Vegas, Matchstick Men for Cage/Pulp Fiction, Get Shorty and one or two others for Travolta), but they're usually just trying to chew scenery and are awful.

Nic Cage came up early in this thread too (15 years ago), but his dual-role performance in Adaptation by itself makes him good in my book. He really seems to love the work of acting, and probably to his detriment takes any old script that comes his way, but there was certainly a lot of fun stuff along the way. (I freely admit to enjoying the National Treasure movies too.)

Meanwhile, my kids have been watching Travolta as the mom in the newer Hairspray, and I also recently re-experienced his absolute suckitude as Danny Zucco in Grease... While he was iconic and irreplaceable in a couple of movies (decades apart), I believe that was purely a product of direction and his physical presence: Travolta really never brings anything to the screen as an actor.

Cage’s highs can be much higher, and Travolta’s lows are impossibly low. He was basically a big-budget sci-fi Kirk Cameron in Battlefield Earth, and Swordfish was another of the very worst movies ever (one or two scenes excepted obviously).

Yes, ‘Adaptation’ was another one, he was excellent in that. He can act when he’s not being “Nic Cage.”

Oh, Travolta's lows get way, way lower off the screen.



If we're talking the double fisted gut punch of worst actor and worst singer combined, it's Travolta.
