Nicolas Cage (Actor) .. Nick Cage
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.

Career: Horgan has carved out a career writing and performing on comedy shows. She has written and starred in Angelo's, Pulling and Dead Boss. She has also appeared in Annually Retentive, Free Agents, The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret, Little Crackers and Psychobitches.

Early-life: Neil was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico on June 15, 1973 to Sheila and Ron. While at high school in Albuquerque, he acted in school plays and musicals. He began his career as a child actor and made his professional debut in Clara's Heart (1988), a role that earned him a Golden Globe nomination. In the same year, he starred in children's fantasy Purple Purple Eater (1988).
Career: Neil's first big break came in 1989 when he landed the lead role as a teenage doctor in comedy drama Doogie Howser, MD. When the show ended in 1993 after four seasons, Neil took up stage acting. He continued to make guest appearances in various TV shows, but he didn't hit the small-screen jackpot again until 2005 when he was cast as Barney Stinson in popular sitcom How I Met Your Mother (HIMYM). HIMYM ran for nine seasons, clocking up more than 200 editions. More recently, Neil has starred on the big screen in The Smurfs (2011) and its sequel The Smurfs 2 (2013), The Muppets (2011) and American Reunion (2012).
