In titles such as VAMPIRE’S KISS, WILD AT HEART, RAISING ARIZONA and, now, BAD LIEUTENANT, Academy Award winner NICOLAS CAGE gets accused of “going over the top” by both fans and detractors. We caught up with CAGE recently and he explained that he prefers to think of it as being “outside of the box”. Whatever it’s called, we think he’s got a good chance for a BAD LIEUTENANT Oscar nom this year.
In an interview with Lucus Baston, who plays the character Deshaun “Midget” Hacket, in Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans; Baston said he couldn’t say enough about what it was like to work with veteran actor Nicolas Cage. “Watching Nicolas prep for a scene was method confirming. Nicolas was going around snorting up this harmless concoction to help get him in the proper frame of mind for the scene.” “It was awesome having the opportunity to go toe-to-toe with this actor.”
