“There’s a fine line between the Method actor and the schizophrenic.”
~ Nicholas Cage

Nicolas Kim Coppola was born on 7 January 1964 in Long Beach, California. He is the nephew of the well-known Hollywood director Francis Ford Coppola. In order to achieve success without having to use the family name, Nicolas chose “Cage” for his stage name.

He made his film debut in a bit part in Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982), which was cut from the movie.

Despite his sometimes eccentric, flamboyant and quirky roles, Nick Cage is a A-list Hollywood actor. On 31 July 1998 he received his star on the “Hollywood walk of fame”.

For his role in Leaving Las Vegas he won the best actor Oscar, Golden Globe, and several other awards and nominations. He also received several nods for his work in Adaptation as well as several other roles.

For his performances in The Wicker Man and Ghost Rider he received worst actor nominations for the Razzie award.

Cage has also directed a movie about a gigolo, called Sonny (2002)

Nicolas Cage is certainly an interesting character and is one of those actors who are able to act with their eyes. I will probably get more of his movies the next time I buy DVDs.
