“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.

Laura Jeanne Reese Witherspoon was born on 22 March 1972 in New Orleans. She spent the first 4 years of her life in Germany after which her family moved back to the USA and settled in Nashville, Tennessee. Reese began modelling at the age of 7, which led to television commercials. She made her big screen debut in 1990 in The Man in The Moon.

Reese won several Best Actress awards for her portrayal of June Carter in Walk The Line (2005) including an Oscar (Academy Award), Bafta and a Golden Globe. She has also received several awards and nominations for her performances in other movies.

One of her recent movies was Rendition in which she starred with Jake Gyllenhaal, who became her sweetheart. The film was directed by South African director Gavin Hood. (Following the success of Tsotsi, a South African movie that won the best foreign film Oscar, Hood was given the opportunity to direct Hollywood movies, starting with Rendition and then following with X-men Origins: Wolverine.)

Reese is known for her un-conventional cuteness and for playing quirky, edgy and off-beat characters. She’s one of my favourite actresses and definitely features in several of my DVDs.
