I Need to Clear the Air... The Con-Air

I have a co-worker with some really straight hair.  Nicolas Cage in Raising Arizona came to mind.  Of course, being compared to Nicolas Cage these days is not the compliment it once was.  The co-worker brought up Con-Air and how Nicolas Cage was suddenly buff.  He went from skinny as H.I. McDunna to ripped in Con-Air.

As I walked away, I reflected on his name in Con-Air.  Cameron Poe.

• We need a little more Jerry Bruckheimer in this to help offset our removal of George.
• We need a bad A ex-con whose arrest was unjustified.
• We can't give him as sweet a mullet, but he will have cool hair 
• We need his name to be off by just one letter.
• We need him to be...

I don't get it.  It must be an oversight.  Or a bad joke. Dam...
