Over the course of a 40+ year acting career, Nicolas Cage<\/strong> has proven he is capable of both quantity and quality in the various roles he has portrayed.<\/p>\n
\n <\/p>\n
In 2019 alone, he appeared in 6 different films, and a quick scroll down his IMDb page will reveal that he’s averaged about that many acting parts every year since 2007 (the year of Ghost Rider<\/em>). As for quality, he won Best Actor at the Oscars for his role in 1996’s Leaving Las Vegas <\/em>and was nominated for another in 2003 for his performance in Adaptation<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Now, he’s being praised for a different part by one of his co-stars in the upcoming renfield<\/em><\/strong> movie, which focuses on the auxiliary creep from Bela Lugosi’s heavily-adapted vampire novel \u2014 the part of Dracula.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

MOVIEWEB VIDEO OF THE DAY<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nSpeaking in a recent interview with Collider, Brandon Scott Jones, who plays “Mark,” said of working with Cage:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n\u201cOne of the biggest takeaways I had when I came home from shooting that movie was, Nicolas Cage has been in 14,000 movies. He’s been acting forever. He’s one of the best. He’s so good. And there’s this maybe cynical side of yourself that you don’t even know exists \u2014 and when I say yourself, I’m kind of talking about myself \u2014 where you kind of assume that maybe they’re just sort of going on autopilot or whatever . And I watched this man come in to work, sit in the make-up trailer, get all made up as Dracula, and then show up on set and was so excited, and so \u2014 oh my god, I almost got a little emotional because it was really moving to see someone love the craft so much. And he had these really funny moments where I remember him being like, ‘Wait, wait, I just want to try something really quick,’ and then he would just make a facial expression into the camera just so they could have it.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Jones shared another glimpse into Cage’s collaborative spirit on set: “He pitched me a line. He was like, ‘Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait, wait. I got an idea, I got an idea. Say this!” The actor added, “He pitched me a line, a joke to say, and it was really, really cool just to see him so in it and fun, and having the time of his life.”<\/p>\n
