What Nicolas Cage has done for a first time

Received Johnny Depp his first acting job.
During an A&E Biography on him, the host explained that Cage was director Sam Raimi's first choice to play Norman Osborn/Green Goblin in the movie Spider-Man (2002). Apparently, this was before he met Willem Dafoe.
After his first film role (in Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982)), he adopted the stage name of Cage, because he wanted to assure himself that any success he had was based on his own merits, not the fame of his uncle, Francis Ford Coppola.
Became a father for the first time at age 26 when his girlfriend Christina Fulton gave birth to their son Weston Cage on December 26, 1990.
Became a grandfather for the first time at age 50 when his son Weston Cage welcomed a son, Lucian Augustus Coppola Cage on July 1, 2014.
One of the reasons he divorced Lisa Marie Presley was because her first husband Danny Keough lived in a guest house on their property and Cage found that highly inappropriate.
His third child, (the first with wife Riko Shibata), a daughter named August Francesca Coppola Cage, was born in Los Angeles on September 7th, 2022.

Nicolas Cage's quotes

To be a good actor you have to be something like a criminal, to be willing to break the rules to strive for something new.
There's a fine line between the Method actor and the schizophrenic.
I am not a demon. I am a lizard, a shark, a heat-seeking panther. I want to be Bob Denver on acid playing the accordion.
[about his marriage to Lisa Marie Presley] I'm sad about this, but we shouldn't have been married in the first place.
Hollywood didn't know if I was an actor or a nut or if I was this crazy character I was playing. I had developed an image of being a little bit unusual, different and wild.
I needed to change my name just to liberate myself and find out I could do it without walking into a Hollywood casting office with the name Coppola.
[Pablo Picasso] said art is a lie that tells the truth. What if you just want to tell the truth and not lie about it?
[on Face/Off (1997)] Without tooting my own horn - I think it's a masterpiece.
I don't want to minimize the effort that goes into having a career, but now with the video age, let's face it, you can write your own stories and you can make your own movies and get it out. Or go on stage somewhere in a small venue off-off-off-Broadway.
Usually it's very cathartic. The hard stuff is when you're not feeling great and you have to do a really happy scene. -- on the personal toll acting can take on a person.
{on the recession] People are losing their jobs because of what's going on in the economy, but I want to make movies that give families something to look forward to.
(1996, on if he wants to do theater work) No, I have stage fright. I don't like it. I've never gotten over it.
(1996, on his life) I know what I want to do, I'm doing it, but I'm still very much a student of the craft and I think I can go further. I still torment myself. I have a lot of self-doubt.
Superman is an American myth. Like the English have Shakespeare.
I hate violence. I just hate it. I read the paper every day - the New York Times, The Guardian - and I feel it, you know? It gets inside. I'm amazed that people are capable of those kinds of things to children and women.
I'm up for anything that will get me to the truth of a performance.
I'm one of those guys where the more coffee I drink, the more stunts I do, the more relaxed I get.
[on having a stalker] That was horrible. I mean, that's as bad as it gets: 2am and there's a naked man standing in front of your bed watching you sleep. It's not funny, but somehow people find it amusing.
Halloween is a great holiday for any actor if you think about it. It's all about dress-up and playing characters. So yeah, it's always had a special place for me.
Film acting is one of the only industries where you're criticized for working hard. In any other industry it's considered a quality and something to behold.
Sometimes your very own family that you're close to can be toxic. They take your success or your potential as a personal insult on their failure, and they beat you up or they say you'll never make it.
I try to pick ans choose my material based on what I can do to challenge myself and make myself uncomfortable. Always stay a student, never be a maestro.
(On The Coen Brothers) "Joel and Ethan have a very strong vision and I've learned how difficult it is to accept another artist's vision. They have an autocratic nature."
(On eating a live cockroach for Vampire's Kiss (1988)) "Every muscle in my body didn't want to do it, but I did it anyway."
I would like to hook up with one of the great Japanese filmmakers, like the master that made Ring (1998), and I would like to take The Wicker Man (2006) to Japan, except this time he's a ghost.
(On The Wicker Man (2006)) "'I might have known that that movie was meant to be absurd."
[on Kathleen Turner] I think we were a little bit in love with each other, to be entirely honest.
What originally attracted me to Bringing Out the Dead (1999) was the opportunity to work with Martin Scorsese.
[on the 2008 economic crash] I didn't believe in stocks because I think they're like gambling and they're dangerous, but you can dump a stock. You can't get out of real estate that quickly.
