, I’m not career-minded. My mantra has always been “work.” I never had a “career.” I only had “work.” That was a way of going through different movies.
The media sometimes talks about the Video-on-Demand work.
My interest has always been cinema or films, because that’s what I was most compelled by. I was most inspired by the movie actors that I grew up with.

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.
