Cage to Help Criminals Learn The Trade

Can Hollywood's A-list get any more adorable? First, we enjoyed Tom eagerly dictating the laws of psychiatry, then we were subjected to puzzling publicity shots of Sean Penn waving a gun down in the South's floodwaters, and now we have Nicholas Cage jumping on the Hollywood-Cares bandwagon to reform criminals:

Hollywood star Nicolas Cage wants to visit prisons to teach criminals how to act. Face/off star Cage believes people who use their anger in negative ways could use acting skills release their frustration..."One day I would love to go to a prison and maybe try to teach convicts to act.I believe that if I could get to those youngsters when they are at a juvenile age and give them a place to express themselves, in a play or in a video, they could get their anger out there, instead of in a wrong direction. ...Art can help you, I believe. Art is like a medicine. In my own case, I was a young man, I was 16 and I was angry...But acting got that out, and I'd like to give that chance to others."

Yes, performing as a bizarrely quiet, annoying, and sex-starved angel watching over Los Angeles can keep you off the crime-filled streets. Our justice system clearly overlooked how completely contrived, cliched and overrated popcorn flicks is just like medicine for our troubled, angry youth. God bless America, where artists and stars are completely licensed to offer their bullshit medical opinions.
