Member of the Church of Scientology.
While he was working with Paul Newman in the Color of Money, The (1986), he engaged in much conversation with the politically active actor. The resulting conscious raising changed him from an actor who ignored the jingoistic tone of Top Gun (1986) to a performer who chose a film with a strong anti-war tone, Born on the Fourth of July (1989) to counter his contribution to the former film.
Tom Cruise is among the upper echelon of talent in Hollywood. His films take in hundreds of millions of dollars and his fans also number in the millions. A powerful man who started out an average person like you or I and became a superstar.
Tom Cruise was born on July 3, 1962. He lived his early life in the small town of Syracuse, New York, and in Ottawa,Canada. Weight= 91 kg, height 5.7 (173).
This is where he first learned of acting at this young age. As a teenager Tom"s movies, ads, and tv roles attracted the attention of many fans and he earned the status of a teenage "hunk".
In 1981 Cruise started his Hollywood film career as an actor. This is when he starred in the movies Endless Love, and Taps. At this point he was more than just a teen star with a relatively small cult following... he was taking the first step towards becoming a superstar.
Two years later Cruise starred in Risky Business as a young man about to enter college. His parents were away for the weekend and he was about to have the time of his life.
This movie made Tom Cruise, this was what brought in his core fans. Those fans, of course, being mostly young women interested in his sex appeal on the big screen. He dressed up in shades and underwear in one particular scene and danced around to the song "Old Time Rock "n" Roll".
His next movie was All The Right Moves, which did well at the box office and increased his status as an actor. And then Legend in 1985 which did very poorly. Top Gun was the ultimate move for Tom Cruise. Taking on this role as the defiant navy jet pilot Maverick he increased his fans to include a larger amount of men.
In his next few roles Cruise would play similar characters to Maverick. Those type of characters being young, cocky exciting people that could relate to the viewer of the movie. Cruises next movies were Cocktail, The Color Money, and Days of Thunder.
In these movies Tom played similar roles to that of Maverick and continued his appeal to a broad range of audiences. In The Color of Money he went for a deeper role and gained respect among critics. Rain Man is widely considered to be Tom"s best acting role, and his breakthrough as a serious actor.
Oliver Stone"s Born on the Fourth of July gave Tom a nomination for a best actor oscar due to the strong and powerful role of Ron Kovic, an activist fighting against the war. The only real mistake other than Legend that Tom made was the movie Far and Away, which was directed by Ron Howard and co-starring his ex- wife Nicole Kidman.
Fortunately a downward spiral into unpopulartity was avoided when Tom starred in A Few Good Men with Jack Nicholson. Tom played a lawyer out to find the truth. In his next thriller, The Firm, Tom earned just as much success in another role as a lawyer. After the Firm he starred in the Anne Rice film Interview With the Vampire as the vampire Lestat.
After this string of successful movies Tom has become a much sought after actors by studios. In Interview With a Vampire he earned over 20 million dollars for his role. Mission: Impossible opened in theatres in 1996 with a new record for sales in it"s first 6 days. Tom both starred in and payed for parts of Mission: Impossible on his own.
After Mission: Impossible it should be fair to say that Tom is one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful stars in Hollywood. Tom's next role was as a sports agent in the popular hit Jerry Maguire. After Maguire, Cruise took a long hiatus from films, during which time work was done on Eyes Wide Shut, a psychological drama directed by the late Stanley Kubrick. Mission Impossible 2 was repeated.
