Nicolas Cage (formerly known as Nicholas Coppola) was born on January 7, 1964 in California, USA. An artistic family, his father is August Coppola, the former dean of the School of Liberal Arts at the University of San Francisco, and his uncle is Francis Coppola, a great director who is famous for films such as "The Godfather" and "Apocalypse Now" Pola. As a member of the Coppola family, he grew up in an environment full of music and books, and developed a strong interest in acting and photography. He started to enter the film industry at the age of 17. In order not to be affected by his uncle's fame, he changed his surname to his favorite composer John Cage.

In 1982, Nicholas made his first appearance in the film industry, playing a role in "The Open School." The following year he starred in the films "Village Girl" and "Fighting Fish". In 1984, Cage played the leading role in the famous film "Birdman", which fully demonstrated his extraordinary acting skills and began to attract people's attention. The film won the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival in 1985. Cage's performance in the film was recognized and he began to succeed. In the following years, he made other films such as "The Cotton Club", "The Order of Love", "Melancholy Boy", "Peggy Sue is Getting Married", "Raising Arizona", "Moonlight", etc. In these films, he has shown great skill in handling different characters and has performed well.

In 1988, he played a New York yuppie who later became a vampire in the film "Vampire's Kiss". The film can be called Cage's most "excessive" performance since he started filming. In 1990, he performed "Firebird Attack" and "The Untamed". "Untamed" has a strange and strong image style and a surreal atmosphere. At the end of the film, Cage, wearing a snakeskin jacket, stood on top of rolling traffic and sang Elvis Presley's famous song "Love Me Tender", which became a classic scene in film history. The film won the Palme d'Or at the 43rd Cannes Film Festival in 1992 and became a turning point in Cage's creation.

1995 was a crucial year for Cage. He starred in "Escape from Las Vegas", a small-production film with a cost of only 3.5 million US dollars. Cage not only invested his soul, but also received a meager salary. In this film, Cage received only one-tenth of his usual salary! However, his soul-deep performance won him a glittering Oscar statue, which is incalculable in money, and the film made him the hottest male star. After that, he changed his acting career and moved into action movies. His starring role in the 1996 action film "The Last Jedi" made him a global box office star, proving that his acting career is quite broad and that he is a genuine Oscar winner. In 1997, he dominated the summer box office with "Prison in the Sky" and "Face/Off". Nicolas Cage became another Hollywood action box office star overnight.

What’s interesting is that the tall and tall Nicolas Cage is always brave and good at fighting in action movies. He can go up mountains and seas and deal with enemies in any way. However, this screen hero has suffered from acrophobia since he was a child and has a deep fear of heights. He suffers from acrophobia and is actually a new generation of Superman. He will play the flying and escaping Superman in the movie "Superman 5". It is really ironic.
