Nicholas Cage certainly got benefits from his family name. Helping him get in the door at interviews.
But he chose not to use his family name so the movie going public didn't associate him with his Uncle.
And he started his career with small supporting parts before working his way up to leading man.
He didn't have his famous mother write and direct a movie explicitly for him to star in.
