Born: Jan 7, 1964

The son of comparative literature professor August Coppola (a
brother of director Francis Coppola) and
dancer/choreographer Joy Vogelsang, 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 (though he dropped out at
17), 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 auditioners for uncle
Francis's Rumble Fish (1983) landed him a role in that
film, followed by the punk-rocker in Valley Girl (1983)
which was released first and truly launched his career. His
one-time passion for method acting reached a personal limit when
he smashed a street-vendor's remote-control car to achieve the
sense of rage needed for his gangster character in
Cotton Club, The (1984). In his early 20s, he dated
Jenny Wright for two years, later linked to
Uma Thurman. After a relationship of several years with
Kristina Fulton, a model, they split amicably and share
custody of a son, Weston Coppola Cage (b.1992).
