Nicolas Cage

Nicolas Cage is an American actor and producer known for his eclectic filmography, distinctive acting style, and willingness to take on unconventional roles. Born Nicolas Kim Coppola in Long Beach, California, he is the nephew of director Francis Ford Coppola and changed his name to avoid nepotism accusations.

Cage rose to prominence in the 1980s with films like Valley Girl (1983), Raising Arizona (1987), and Moonstruck (1987). He won the Academy Award for Best Actor for Leaving Las Vegas (1995) and received another nomination for Adaptation (2002). His action film career peaked with The Rock (1996), Con Air (1997), and Face/Off (1997).

After financial troubles in the late 2000s, Cage became prolific in VOD films while maintaining a devoted cult following. His career experienced a critical resurgence with Pig (2021), The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (2022), and Dream Scenario (2023).

In 2026, Cage brings his voice role from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse to live-action in Spider-Noir on MGM+/Prime Video, playing the 1930s private investigator version of Spider-Man.
