The actor explained to 'Wired' that he didn't want to be known solely as Francis Ford Coppola's nephew: "I was still Nicolas Coppola, and people would not stop saying things like, 'I love the smell of Nicolas in the morning,' because of 'Apocalypse Now,' and Robert Duvall saying, 'I love the smell of napalm in the morning,' and it made it hard to work and I said, 'I don't need this,' and changed it to Cage." The last name "Cage" was inspired by the Marvel superhero character Luke Cage and the avant-garde compose John Cage.
