# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born Nicolas Coppola into Hollywood royalty, he dropped the family name and started small in Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Valley Girl before appearing in uncle Francis Ford Coppola's films through the mid-'80s. Critical notice arrived with Moonstruck and Raising Arizona in 1987, then an Oscar for the harrowing Leaving Las Vegas in 1995 and a second nomination for playing twins in Adaptation. He became a blockbuster fixture with The Rock, Con Air, Face/Off, and the National Treasure and Ghost Rider franchises, while bouncing between straight drama, voice work in Spider-Verse, and cult oddities. A late-career surge—Mandy, Pig, Dream Scenario, Longlegs—rekindled serious acclaim and reminded people that the volatility was always the point.
