Nicolas Cage has played a number of strange characters over the decades. Who can forget Castor Troy in “Face/Off?” Or Ghost Rider pissing fire in the superhero sequel ‘Spirit of Vengeance?’ Then, of course, there’s whatever the hell he was doing in “Season of the Witch.” But we can safely say that his upcoming role in the Amazon series “Highfire” might be his weirdest yet.
