I saw this post on the IMDB. It made me happy that I affected our youth in a positive way.

May 20th, I graduated from High school. My school heavily emphasizes the Arts. Mr. Coppala is really big in the arts apperently and spoke at our graduation ceremony. It was so ironic - everyone was really dressed up and here he was with a black bandana and an Indian biker type coat like he had just came in on his Harley. He had big chains around his neck and leather pance. He looked like a total bad ass. We introduced him as Nicholas Cage's brother and when he got up to the podeum, he said something like, I didn't write a speach, I like to talk off the cuff because it sounds more personal. He went on to tell us not to be art school drug flakes stoners and to take the arts seriously. Then he made us all hold hands! It was awesome. He was so funny! Now I'm going to watch all his movies.
