Career
Cagney made his stage debut in a 1919 production of Every Sailor, in which he played the part of a Sailor who dresses up as a woman. After a decade on the stage, Cagney made his film debut when he reworked a stage role for Sinner's Holiday in 1930 with Warner Bros..Warner Bros.
Cagney had an on-again, off-again relationship with the Warner Bros. studios for many years. After getting his first break with them in 1930, he went independent in 1936 because of what he felt were contractual defaults on the part of the studio. He returned again in 1938 but left again after winning an Oscar for his role in Yankee Doodle Dandy. During this period away from Warner Bros. Cagney formed his own studio, William Cagney Productions. He finally returned in 1949, and continued his career with various studios until 1961 when he effectively retired.-

Bad Lieutenant was so good. Nicholas Cage turns into James Cagney right in the middle of the film. Laughed so much. Werner Herzog FTW!!!
