Apparently Nicolas Cage and Jim Carrey were friends since they co-starred in Peggy Sue Got Married.
Years later they were both up for the role of Andy Kaufman in Man on the Moon. Apparently Carrey convinced Cage that neither of them should have to audition for this part, given their stature as actors. Carrey then went an auditioned and got the role.
