Is he the next Nicholas Cage??

He's looking to make money nowadays.

No, he's the current Nicholas Cage.

cage at least performs

I always thought he'd parlay his brand name into personal projects or at least evolve into playing closer to his age with an air of distinction like what Kevin Costner and Brad Pitt is doing now. Instead, he seems to be on the same wave length as Liam Neeson, Cage, Segal, and Stallone

I would argue he isn't like Nicholas Cage since Nicholas Cage won an Oscar for a drama early in his career he was in and Bruce Willis has mostly been in action roles. I haven't seen nobody's fool but aside from that and the Sixth Sense he hasn't done dramas.

More like the next Eddie Murphy if you agree with the following assessment:

Career wise, he reminds me of Eddie Murphy. Eddie was this incredibly ambitious kid from Brooklyn when he started. To this day, most of the big time comedians cite his comedy album Delirious as a major influence. He was makin good movies, writing songs, and was just kinda as big as a person could be. Then his movies kinda got progressively worse throughout the 90s. I guess he sorta had a resurgence with the Shrek movies, but that's kind of a stretch. His movies in the 2000s became unwatchable dog shit. I wonder how a guy who was once so great could be ok with making movies he had to know were just not funny or good. Money I guess? Maybe he and Bruce got sick of the limelight and preferred just bein private rich guys. Of course, Willis is known to be quite the asshole. Never heard anything like that about Murphy. Maybe their goals just changed. Maybe they became less interested in the quality of their work and the dedication it requires and more interested in the quality of their lives. Kinda "retired" in a way. It's funny with actors: once they prove they can do it well, we expect them to keep doin it forever.

Bruce phone it in Willis. That is what I call him. Whatever happened to cool, bad ass, and sarcastic Bruce Willis. I miss that guy. Now he looks like he hangs out on his porch all day shouting at kids to get off his lawn. I'd love to give Brucey boy a cold hard punch to his smug and apathetic face. Fuck you Willis!
