film 1991 "Johnny Suede", Director: Tom Dicillo, USA/Swiss production,
video 95 minutes, starring Brad Pitt. Cave has a prominent cameo
as Freak Storm, he's in it for 10 minutes. He sings a song
called "Momma's Boy" (I think) in a back alley, which the
credits say he composed, with lyrics by the director.
It's a good film and Nick's acting is quite credible, playing
a parody of himself well enough to make it a hard prospect
for anyone else to do so.
