Big Daddy, KICK-ASS Damon Macready (Nicolas Cage)—or “Big Daddy”—is a former NYPD detective turned vigilante hero.

At last, in 1825, an emended version was placed upon the boards by no less an actor than the great Macready.

Contemporaries seem agreed in attributing to Kean more genius, more talent to Macready.

Macready was the friend of the leading men of letters of his time, and had the advantage of their advice and support.

Macready acknowledges that there were some corners in Drury Lane where a respectable woman might not venture.
