Thomas Cruise Mapother IV famously known as Tom Cruise, in today’s date is one of the most bankable, reliable and sought after actors on the big screen. Having cherished some great success in Hollywood from past 2 decades, Cruise comes from very modest background with Nomadic parents who were often on move that effected Tom’s life as well evident from the fact that by the time he was 14, he had been to 15 different schools.
Coming from a religious background he initially aspired to be a priest but abandoned thse plans having developed some great interest in plays during his school days. By the time he was 18, he moved to New York to make a mark for himself in Hollywood. He debuted with a small role in Endless Love, followed by his first major role in Francis Coppola's The Outsiders. But it was with Risky Business, Color of money, Top Gun & Rainman he established himself in the film fraternity. He ended the 80s with a high potraying the role of Ron Kovic in Born on fourth of july.
Continuing from his initial success in mid and late 80s he did some fabulous work in good movies of 90s & in 2000s in the likes of A few good men, Interview with the Vampire, Jerry maguire, Magnolia, Vanilla Sky, and some great action thrilling flicks like Collateral, The Last Samurai, Minority Report and every girl’s favorite Mission Impossible Series having Cruise starred as famous secret agent Ethan Hunt.
To me personally, he also did some average movies in the likes of War of the Worlds, Lions for lambs and second installment in Mission Impossible franchise.
Frankly, I don’t think him to be the best of the acting talents around but the way he carried himself out playing the roles to his strength with dedication & hardwork demands enormous respect from any movie buff around the globe. I think he has been very clear of the kind of image with which he really wants to be perceived and maintained a great metro-sexual appeal among his audiences. His background has a lot to do in all this, especially getting bullied by his schoolmates or by his Stepfather and living like nomads, he figured out pretty early in his life where he wants to see himself and the reason why Success never got over him is that he has been calm, religious and on top of that he never forgot that he is loved by people because of the good work he does not of his personal antics, that’s why he remained grounded and has been doing some great work till date. Plus, to him some roles offered were tailor-made and his LUCK served the purpose of icing on the cake.
