Though his father encouraged him to be a writer, Nicolas studied theatre at Beverly Hills High school and eventually dropped out to pursue a career in acting when he was just 17 years. However, most of his first film role - a bit part in 1982's Fast Times At Ridegemont High, as Nicolas Coppola - ended up on the cutting room floor.But then Nicolas Cage's uncle Francis landed him in a role for his film titled 'Rumble Fish'(1983), followed by the punk-rocker in Valley Girl(1983), which was released first and truly launched his carreer Thank You!!!

Actually the very first movie that Cage appeared is was released in 1980. The movie title was "Brubaker" starring Robert Redford.

The part that Cage played was uncredited.
