Cage Talks Depp on Radio Show

According to an article on Digital Spy, Nicolas Cage briefly discussed steering Johnny Depp toward acting in an interview on Heart FM radio:

Nicolas Cage has revealed that he pushed Johnny Depp to take up acting.

The 44-year-old was introduced to Depp after he moved to LA with his garage band The Kids in his late teens.

He told Heart FM: "I met Johnny many years ago - he was a guitar player and had come to Los Angeles from Florida.

"We had a mutual friend and we were just playing Monopoly one day. I told him he ought to try acting so I introduced him to my agent and the next day he got his first audition and got the part.

"I can't really take credit for it... I was just one small step in his whole career... but that's just how it happened. It was quite simple."

He added: "Please don't ask me who won the game of Monopoly, though, I can't remember... it was a long time ago!"

Some of your movies may be cr*p but you are forgiven for getting Johnny Depp into acting.
