Nicolas Cage on Dracula's Voice: Father, Accent, and Anne Bancroft
Nicolas Cage traces the DNA of his Dracula performance back to his literature-professor father's affected mid-Atlantic accent and Anne Bancroft's toxic seduction in The Graduate.
- “I want to speak with distinction because I'm a literature professor.”
- “He had his reasons but I could never understand why he spoke in that continental accent.”
- “Her performance as Mrs. Robinson — I thought that was a very toxic relationship that she had with the way she spoke.”
- Cage channeled his father's deliberately affected mid-Atlantic accent — a literature professor performing distinction — into Dracula.
- He brought his father's voice back for Dracula — a voice he'd grown up around and never quite understood.
