Nicolas Cage, born Nicolas Kim Coppola on January 7, 1964, in Long Beach, California, is an American actor, producer, and director known for his intense, eclectic performances and his range in both mainstream blockbusters and independent films. Cage is one of Hollywood’s most distinct and unpredictable stars, with a career spanning over four decades. His acting style, often marked by eccentric choices and emotional intensity, has made him both a beloved and divisive figure in cinema.
Cage was born into a family with deep connections to the entertainment industry. His father, August Coppola, was a literature professor and writer, while his mother, Joy Vogelsang, was a dancer and choreographer. Cage’s uncle is the renowned filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola, best known for directing The Godfather trilogy. Initially, Cage changed his surname to avoid the appearance of nepotism and to forge his own identity in the industry, inspired by the Marvel Comics character Luke Cage.
Cage’s path to acting was paved by his passion for film from a young age. He attended Beverly Hills High School, where he befriended future stars like Sean Penn and Rob Morrow. After high school, Cage attended the prestigious Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute, where he honed his craft and began making a name for himself in theater. His early career was marked by both stage and small-screen appearances, but his first major break came with his role in the 1982 film Fast Times at Ridgemont High, which helped him land further opportunities in Hollywood.
