Legendary acting teacher Constantin Stanislavski once wrote, “The artist of the stage must be the master of his own inspiration and must know how to call it forth when it is announced on the posters of the theatre. This is the chief secret of our art” (Stanislavski, 1936). When analyzing Nicolas Cage, it is clear that he provides his own inspiration; yet he does not receive the sort of recognition an actor of his talents might deserve.
