Hi; My name is Douglas Cage (i legally changed my name to Cage, in 2003, due to a three decade long attempt to "find peace" with my dad, that left my mom, when i was 12)...Furthermore, and none the less, Nicolas Cage is my favorite actor (his performance in: "Leaving Las Vegas", was---in my / the majorities opinion, absolutely the best depiction of someone who commits "quickly timed suicide" [by alcohol] in cinematic history---not only by his well deserved oscar, but, by his personal experience with the affects of alcohol, that did not require him to be "in caracter" / "script memorizing", but, to only re-live "bits and pieces" from some of his "unbridled", yet, productive teenage / college years)... Nicolas is Francis' Nephew (figure out which famous, movie producer that is yourself) and in closing: Nicholas did not "ride family coat-tails" (except, for references) Nicholas forged his own way / style---because, he is a prodigy, that, atleast, "had it in his genes" to start with.
