Nicolas Cage born as Nicholas Kim Coppola (born January 7, 1964 in Long Beach, California) to August and Joy Coppola. In 1976, Cage's parents divorced and he moved to Beverly Hills with his father. He is the nephew of both Francis Ford Coppola and Talia Shire.
Cage became passionate about acting at an early age. To pursue his career, he left high school early and got his GED. Cage changed his name in order to try to make his own way in acting without benefiting from his uncle's reputation. He chose the name Cage after the Marvel comic book hero Luke Cage, Power Man and minimalist composer John Cage.
His notable roles were in the 1983 movies Rumble Fish and Valley Girl, which was his breakout role. He won an Academy Award for Best Actor for his role in Leaving Las Vegas (1995).
He has a son, Weston Coppola Cage (born 1990), with model Kristina Fulton (divorced). On April 8, 1995 he married actress Patricia Arquette and divorced on May 18, 2001. On August 10, 2002 he married Lisa Marie Presley and filed for divorce less than four months later on May 16, 2004. He married former waitress Alice Kim on July 30, 2004, in a private ceremony in northern California. He has another son, and as a comic fan, the son was named after DC hero Superman, Kal-el Coppola Cage (born October 3, 2005 in New York City).
