Nicolas Cage (born January 7, 1964) is an award-winning American actor.

Nicolas Cage was born Nicolas Kim Coppola in Long Beach, California. He is of Italian descent on his father's side, and English and German descent on that of his mother.[2] His parents are August Floyd Coppola, a comparative literature professor and brother of influential director Francis Ford Coppola, and Joy Vogelsang, a choreographer and dancer. His brother is Michael "The Cope" Coppola, a New York radio personality (currently airing on WAXQ 104.3 (aka Q104.3))

Cage, who went to the same high school as fellow entertainers Albert Brooks, Angelina Jolie, Lenny Kravitz, Rob Reiner, and David Schwimmer, aspired to act from an early age.[3] His first (non-cinematic) acting experience was in a school production of Golden Boy.

n his early 20s, he dated Jenny Wright for two years and was later involved with Uma Thurman. Cage has been married three times. His first two wives, Patricia Arquette (April 8, 1995 to May 18, 2001) and Lisa Marie Presley (August 10, 2002 to May 16, 2004) (daughter of Elvis Presley of whom Cage is a fan and based his performance in Wild at Heart on) were also members of the entertainment industry. He proposed to Patricia Arquette on the day he met her in the early 80's. Arquette thought he was strange, but played along with his antics by creating a list of things Cage would have to do to "win her hand," including obtaining the autograph of reclusive author J.D. Salinger. However, when he seriously started moving through the list of demands, Arquette became scared and avoided him. However they met again many years later and went on to marry.

After a relationship of several years with Christina Fulton, a model, they split amicably and share custody of a son, Weston Coppola-Cage.

His third (and current) wife, Korean-American Alice Kim, is a former sushi waitress.

Cage has two children: Weston (born December 26, 1990, with his then-girlfriend, actress-model Christina Fulton); and Kal-El (born October 3, 2005, with Alice Kim).

I think he's okay.

He plays in some very great movies

He is great

I haven't seen a lot of his movies but I think he is a good actor.

And he talked to Johnny about acting and stuff before Johnny (Depp) would even think about it. Thanks for that.

Okay, he's deserving at least a filmography added - he can't be blamed for my personal disliking him
