with a great appreciation of art, literature and theatre. Nicolas
and his two brothers were raised by their fater. His mother was hospitalized
for years when Nicolas was a child.
Nicolas and his brothers would spend vacations in San Francisco visiting their uncle, director Francis Ford Coppola. As a teen he had a growing desire to act and spent a summer at the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco. His love of acting and perserverance landed him a role in an 80s TV series, "The Best of Times". His first screen role came in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High". Nicolas changed his last name so he wouldn't get parts because he was a 'Coppola'. He wanted to win them on his own merit and talent. Cage finally got the public's attention starring opposite Cher in "Moonstruck". That same year he appeared in the comedy, "Raising Arizona". Cage can pick and choose movies these days especially after his Oscar winning performance in "Leaving Las Vegas". He can also command the big salaries. Nicolas Lives in Los Angeles.
