I see. So if they want to put a giant phallic object behind the actor, that's covered.
Not a fan some of Cage's acting (Con Air was terrible, Lord of War was good) but I admire him for doing this and being cool and open about it.
They could do that with green screen, so that's not relevant. Of course, now they can put the phallus anywhere else, and that's more of a problem.

I liked when he was a normal guy being chased through an out-of-control situation.
But I think this happens with a lot of actors when they get really popular. The studios hire popular actors for super-alpha-male-top-dog roles.
Maybe he wants the roles that chuck norris/schwarzenegger would normally get, but in my mind he doesn't fit those roles.
Amusingly it goes the other way quite easily - schwarzenegger can actually do well in a kindergarten classroom.
