Cage’s career is interesting. In the late 90s something happened-—don’t know if he got into financial trouble, but he had to make some poor grade movies. Too bad because at one time he was considered among the best.

Obviously he was hurting real bad to have made these commercials.
He’s a spend thrift who doesn’t seem to like paying his taxes:

He plays some conservative type guys a lot .as in the National Treasure series and if the script is at all true, this character as well.
