Nicolas Cage (Actor) .. The Surfer
Born: January 07, 1964 in Long Beach, California
Best Known For: The National Treasures movies.
Early-life: Nicolas Kim Coppola was born in Long Beach, California, on January 7, 1964. His mum, Joy Vogelsang, was a successful choreographer, and his dad, August, was a literature professor and the brother of director Francis Ford Coppola and Rocky star Talia Shire. Cage discovered his passion for acting while still in his teens, and studied theatre at Beverly Hills High. He made his feature film debut in Fast Times at Ridgemont High in 1982, but most of his scenes were cut. He made ends meet selling popcorn.
Career: Cage changed his name from Coppola to Cage (inspired by Marvel comic hero Luke Cage) so he could achieve success in his own right. However, he got some of his earliest breaks in the movies Rumble Fish, The Cotton Club and Peggy Sue Got Married, which were directed by his uncle Francis. The actor won critical acclaim for films including Raising Arizona, Moonstruck and Wild at Heart, before picking up an Oscar in 1995 for his portrayal of an alcoholic in Leaving Las Vegas. After that, he branched out into action films, making Con Air, The Rock and Face/Off, but returned to his offbeat roots with movies like Adaptation, Lord of War, The Weather Man and World Trade Center. Since then he has made a string of big-budget movies, including National Treasure: Book of Secrets (a sequel to his 2004 hit National Treasure), The Sorcerer's Apprentice, and Season of the Witch. His 2011 film Drive Angry was a box-office flop, but he always has a number of films in the pipeline.
Quote: "Sometimes I choose movies that can help me like therapy - you do something positive with a negative emotion."
Trivia: In 2001, Cage was awarded an Honorary Doctorate in Fine Arts by California State University, Fullerton.
Julian McMahon (Actor) .. Scally
Born: July 27, 1968 in Sydney, Australia
Best Known For: Nip/Tuck.
Early-life: Julian Dana William McMahon was born on July 27, 1968, in Sydney, Australia. He is one of three children born to former Australian Prime Minister Sir William McMahon and his wife Lady Sonia. McMahon quit law school after a year, claiming it was boring, and began modelling. He featured in commercials and assignments in Milan, Paris, Los Angeles, and New York. His appearance in a jeans advert became so popular he was offered the lead in glossy soap The Power, the Passion, in 1989.
Career: Following that breakthrough, McMahon spent a year in Home and Away before turning to the stage. He appeared in a musical version of the Summer Bay soap, as well as Love Letters, in Sydney and Melbourne. He made his movie debut in 1992's Wet and Wild Summer! before moving to the US, where he starred in long-running drama Another World. Since then, he's appeared in such shows as Profiler, Charmed, and Nip/Tuck. He has also made the films Magenta and Chasing Sleep and played Doctor Doom in the Fantastic Four movies. Since then he's starred in Red, Fire with Fire and Paranoia.
Quote: "I like the opportunity to play characters who have dark sides, but make the audience empathise with them. You want them to think there is some kind of sweeter, softer side to it."
Trivia: Away from acting, he enjoys surfing, biking and cooking.
