Action English (235)Nicolas Cage 尼古拉斯.凯奇生于：1964年1月7日出生地：Long Beach, California, USA人物简介：虽然身为大导演柯波拉的侄子，不过尼可拉斯凯吉可没有因此而得以平步青云，仍然是靠著自己一步一脚印，花了一段摸索期，才能在竞争激烈的影坛奠定今天的一切。
出生于加州长岛，父亲是旧金山艺术学院院长，母亲则是一名舞蹈家，在这样颇富艺术气息的家庭成长，让凯吉也接触许多文学与古典音乐的薰陶。
不过12岁那年，父母离婚的因素，使得凯吉的童年生活并不愉快。
由于叔叔的影响，凯吉从小便立志当一名职业演员，起初是加入剧团演一些电视影集，17岁时在「开放的美国学府」获得第一部电影演出的机会，虽然只是类似路人甲的演出，不过在接下来的「青春热舞」、「斗鱼」中，有了较为吃重的演出，让大家开始注意到这号人物的存在。
义大利裔的尼可拉斯凯吉，早期电影，多以较边缘性格的角色，或者说是比较异类的电影为主，而他也对于这类角色非常擅长：包括与凯萨琳透纳合演的「佩姬苏要出嫁」、与雪儿主演的「发晕」、与荷莉韩特合作的「抚养亚历桑纳」以及大卫林区导演的「我心狂野」等，都可以看到凯吉较为另类的演出。
这样的演出一直要到95年的「远离赌城」才算发扬光大，不过其实在早期的作品就可以嗅出味道来。
95年对凯吉来说，是个大有斩获的一年，除了各大影展对其演技的肯定外，在感情上也有了归宿，与主演「绝命大煞星」走红的派翠西亚艾奎特正式结为夫妻。
「远离赌城」中颓废失意的酗酒演出，由全身充满忧郁气质的尼可拉斯凯吉演来恰如其份，不只为他带来一座奥斯卡金像奖，也将他推向主流电影的领域，尤其接下来几部动作巨片「绝地任务」、「空中监狱」、「变脸」、「蛇眼」在票房的大成功，让他晋身成为一线男星行列，也正式转型成为动作英雄；而与梅格莱恩主演改拍自温德斯「欲望之翼」的「X情人」不但较为文艺爱情的表现依然为影迷所喜爱，并证明了他能够尝试各种类型戏剧的演出。
