Hollywood legend Nicolas Cage, turning 59 soon, may be contemplating a significant career shift. In a recent conversation with Uproxx, promoting his new film "Dream Scenario," he hinted at the possibility of calling it quits on his cinematic journey after over 45 years and 100+ movies. Yet, he didn't rule out completely stepping off the acting stage, mentioning a few more films and possibly a format change to express himself differently.
Series projects, like "Breaking Bad," appeal to his current interests. The actor admired Bryan Cranston's intense performance during an "Breaking Bad" episode where he stared at a suitcase for an hour, a scenario that wouldn't likely fit in a feature film. Television's extended time frame opens up opportunities for more nuanced character development, which Cage finds intriguing.
Family time and his impending 60th birthday also play a role in his consideration. Wishing to spend more quality time with his family, including his 1-year-old daughter, Nicolas Cage sees a long-term TV series as a suitable choice. He hopes to find a show that suits his lifestyle, allowing him to balance his acting commitment with spending time with his loved ones.
