Nicolas Cage, who won an Academy Award for 'Leaving Las Vegas,' now lives in Las Vegas. Sharyn Alfonsi headed there to hear more about what inspires the actor.
Nicolas Cage was born Nicolas Kim Coppola, on the fringe of cinema royalty. His uncle is the director Francis Ford Coppola and his aunt is the actor Talia Shire. He grew up one of three brothers in Long Beach, California. He was raised by his father, August, a comparative literature professor who introduced him to the masterworks of Italian and German filmmakers, sparking his love for cinema at an early age.
"When people think of Nicolas Cage, I wanted it to have, like, a punk rock energy at that time," Cage said."I wanted it to be unpredictable. You don't know what you're gonna get. I wanted it to be exciting and a little scary."Cage owns one of the most eclectic lists of film credits in Hollywood. He's been in more than 100 movies, pivoting from renegade, to leading man to action hero to a slew of lesser features and back again.
Cage was saving up a memory from the 1927 German expressionist science-fiction film"Metropolis," which he watched as a child, to use in a scene as Ronny Cammareri in"Moonstruck." Decades on, it remains one of his memorable roles.
