Nicolas Cage
Why Is He Famous?
Originally famous as Francis Ford Coppola's nephew, Nicolas Cage sought out his own fame by literally creating a name for himself and a complimentary set of screen personas -- action hero (Face/Off, Ghost Rider), romantic lead (Moonstruck, City of Angels), man of science (National Treasure, Knowing), and fractured soul (Leaving Las Vegas, Adaptation).
Amid famous accusations of selling out on his Oscar-caliber talent in exchange for big money and movie idol status, Nicolas Cage still stands as one of Hollywood's biggest and most eccentric movie stars. In a town where celebrity oddities are only as far away as the next issue of The National Enquirer, that's really saying something, but we are talking about a guy who owns a 28-bedroom German castle, who adopted the last name of a Marvel Comics superhero and who named his son after Superman.
