Nicolas Cage

Nicolas Cage (born Nicolas Kim Coppola; January 7, 1964) is an American actor, known for collaborating many times with film producer Jerry Bruckheimer. A high school dropout, Cage pursued acting as a career, making his debut on television in 1981. Cage has famously featured in numerous "bad boy" roles, even going as far as to knock out his front two teeth for the part he played in Birdy (1984). Cage has starred in over 70 films including Face/Off (1997), Ghost Rider (2007), and National Treasure (2004). Cage's acting success has made him a very high paid actor, grossing over 4 million dollars per picture.

Cage has married three times, once to Patricia Arquette, then to Lisa Marie Presley (the only daughter, and child, of Elvis Presley), and most recently to his current wife Alice Kim Cage who was 20 years old when they met and married.

Cage will be the voice of Dr. Tenma in Astro Boy this October.
