This week Nicolas Cage celebrates a birthday. The actor was born on January 7, 1964 into a family with quite a film pedigree. His birth certificate most likely lists his real name, Nicolas Coppola. Nephew of Francis Ford Coppola and older cousin to director Sophia, this actor is equally at home playing a melancholy romantic lead in Captain Corelli’s Mandolin, the hero in World Trade Center or the opera crazed one armed baker in Moonstruck. For an actor still in his early 40’s, he has quite a resume. The late film critic Pauline Kael once noted that Cage "may be the only young actor who can look stupefied while he smolders.”
The library offers a great selection of films featuring this fine performer.

Thank you for your comment.
Are there any other actors you would like to see discussed on their birthday?
