I'm a huge fan of Nicolas Cage.  No matter the movie, there is always something unique about his performance and I really think he's one of the best actors in the business.  So when I found out I'd landed an exclusive interview with the great actor at WonderCon, I'll admit to being very excited.

While I didn't have a lot of time, we were still able to talk about his history with comic books, what would he look for on the convention floor if he was left alone, how did The Sorcerer's Apprentice come together and he tells some behind the scenes stories, and I asked him about the rumors that he thought about shaving his head and getting tattoos for Drive Angry.  Hit the jump to watch the interview:

And one last thing before watching...in case you think Cage is trying to do a Batman voice, he had laryngitis, so give him credit for still doing the interview!
