Best CBM Casting of All Time – Liam Neeson vs. Nicolas Cage
By FavaBeans | November 20, 2009
Willem DaFoe easily defeats Topher Grace in last week’s match up with a whopping 14-0 tally.
We started this game on our Message Boards over two years ago, and it’s still going! The list includes movies made up until 2007. Needless to say, there are alot of actors and actresses that have been cast in CBMs!
I decided to move this game over to the site so we can generate more interest and more votes. The game works like this – Each week 2 actors/actresses will be matched up against one another (randomnly, there’s is no bias in the match-ups), and it’s up to you, the fans, to decide who was the better choice to play the part. At the end, the winner with the most votes moves on to the next round. A new match up will be posted every Friday and will last one week!
Continue on to learn more and vote on this week’s match up!

Liam Neeson. Not because he was great, but because Nicholas Cage was that bad.

Lolz i think the movie was and script were terrible i dont know of an actor that could have tried any better. But this one would have to go to Liam Neeson for that fact.

i might be the only one that thought nicolas cage was the only good thing about taht movie, well him and the old texas cowbow dude. Having said that Liam Neeson still wins impresively.

If this was between Sam Elliot( Caretaker and Thunderbolt Ross) There would be something to determine. Since not, Liam Wins easily. He is a much better actor.

lol, looks like it’s gonna be another shut-out. Liam Neeson.
November 21st, 2009 at 11:29 pm
Go Liam Neeson… About the only good thing about Nicholas Cage in Ghost Rider was that it is the only movie he has been in for the past 10 years or so that wasn’t “a high octane thriller in a race against time!!” LOL
