He&#8217;s not only shown his vast acting talent, but he&#8217;s shown why he&#8217;s got staying power. <\/p>\n<p>Cage has gained fans with his quirky, yet intense roles, such as alcoholic screenwriter Ben Anderson in &#8220;Leaving Las Vegas&#8221; (1995) and publishing executive Peter Loew, who believes he&#8217;s slowly turning into a vampire in &#8220;Vampire&#8217;s Kiss&#8221; (1988). <\/p>\n<p>His ability to mold himself to various genres is also something that&#8217;s made him a Hollywood fixture; he has performed in female-centric films like &#8220;Moonstruck&#8221; (1987) starring Cher, and family films like Disney&#8217;s &#8220;National Treasure&#8221; series (2004, 2007) and &#8220;The Sorcerer&#8217;s Apprentice&#8221; (2010). <\/p>\n<p>Cage has gone through many changes throughout his career, and even with his current iteration indulging in the cheese factor of his roles, such as Johnny Blaze in the &#8220;Ghost Rider&#8221; series (2007, 2011) and the aforementioned Disney films, Cage still manages to entertain and delight his fans. <\/p>\n<p>Cage continues his career with Anchor Bay Films&#8217; revenge thriller &#8220;Seeking Justice,&#8221; also starring January Jones and Guy Pearce. The film stars Cage as an average family man who is pushed to the hilt when it comes to protecting his wife (Jones) and family. <\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re a fan of Cage, make sure to get &#8220;Seeking Justice,&#8221; out now, on DVD and Blu-ray. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/seeking-justice-blu-ray.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/seeking-justice-blu-ray.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"seeking justice blu-ray\" width=\"450\" height=\"578\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-97313\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/seeking-justice-blu-ray.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/seeking-justice-blu-ray-233x300.jpg 233w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If there&#8217;s one actor people love, it&#8217;s Nicolas Cage.
