I doubt that the old Civil War-era photograph depicted represents his great, great grandfather.

Cage's real name is Nicolas Kim Coppola. He's of Italian and German immigrant forbearers in the great, great category.

His uncle is director Frances Ford Coppola and he is nephew to actress Talia Shire of "Rocky" fame.

Now if one of his ancestors were from Transylvania, one might reconsider his lineage......
