Nicolas cage biography imdb top movies
•
Nicolas Cage was born Nicolas Kim Coppola in Long Beach, California, the son of comparative literature professor August Coppola (whose brother is director Francis Ford Coppola) and dancer/choreographer Joy Vogelsang. He is of Italian (father) and Polish and German (mother) descent. Cage changed his name early in his career to make his own reputation, succeeding brilliantly with a host of classic, quirky roles by the late 1980s.
Initially studying theatre at Beverly Hills High School (though he dropped out at seventeen), he secured a bit part in Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982) - most of which was cut, dashing his hopes and leading to a job selling popcorn at the Fairfax Theater, thinking that would be the only route to a movie career, but a job reading lines with actors auditioning for uncle Francis's Rumble Fish (1983) landed him a role in that film, followed by the romantic lead in Valley Girl (1983), which was released first and truly launched his career.

my top favorite nicolas cage movies.
by thejokerswild99 • Created 13 years ago • Modified 13 years ago
nicolas cage is my favorite actor. although i do know he has done some horrible movies. and has done his share of stupid roles, and maybe some bad acting here and there. but i am still entertained by him. for the most part he puts out movies that are enjoyable to me. and for me it all started with, Face Off.
and lets clear up a few movies. 2 of my least favorite cage movies are bringing out the dead and moonstruck. vampires kiss is pretty bad too...
adaptation is a good movie. very artsy movie and i understand why people like it...but it's just not my type of movie.
fast times...really its not a nicolas cage movie. on the video i have the camera pans over him. i saw it on tv once and saw he had a spoken line in it and i was dumbfounded. i like the movie in general. but its not a cage movie and shouldnt be on this list.
