Tom Cruise
Thomas Cruise Mapother IV, born on July 3rd 1962 in Syracuse, New Jersey, to a family of 6. He was the only boy in the family as he had three sisters. His parents traveled around because of his father’s job with General Electric. Tom’s parents got divorced when he was around 12, his father died because of cancer not long after the divorce.
Now came a difficult time where the family had to struggle for a living. As they moved to Taylorsville Road, Kentucky, all the family had to work; young Tom became the “Man of the Family.” A while after that, Tom’s mother Marry Lee remarried, and they started moving again, by the time Tom was 14 he had gone to 15 different schools, but after getting in Glen Ridge High School in New Jersey, Tom took the acting route.
He left school at the age of 18 and went to New York, he took several jobs to support himself, while attending drama classes in the evening, auditioned for TV ads anytime he could, sadly he didn’t get much of a chance.
His moving around from place to another helped him, as a kid he was trying to fit in so he did all he could to pick the proper accent for each place he stayed in, he was actually “acting” all the time. Tom went to Los Angeles to try his luck again, he auditioned for TV roles, but his chance didn’t come then, not till he signed with Creative Artists Agency.
Franco Zeffirelli’s Endless Love (1981) was the first movie he ever appeared in, although it wasn’t a big role, it was Tom’s first step. Another audition called for him when he returned to New Jersey, he was asked to do a one-line role in the movie Taps (1981), but his performance was so good that director Harold Becker gave him a better chance: he played cadet Dick Shawn. He didn’t want to just appear on the screen, he wanted to work with top directors, and luckily he got the chance to be in The Outsiders (1983) with director Francis Ford Coppola. Tom made a couple of other movies, none of which was a hit, till Top Gun (1986) came to lift him up, the movie was a big hit, yet he wanted the actor in him to grow.
The Color of Money (1986) was kind of a turning point for Cruise, he played a role alongside Paul Newman. Newman received an Oscar for his role, but Cruise’s life changed after that movie, because of Newman. Paul got Cruise unintentionally married to Mimi Rogers who was at Paul’s Road Racing Classic Show, he also go Tom to be interested in car-racing.
The desire of the actor in him grew more and more, and playing Charlie Babbitt alongside Dustin Hoffman, a star who’d steal the lights in Rain Man (1988), had fed his desire; Cruise was the one who made the movie, as Hoffman wanted someone to react to his character, a retarded person. Cruise got his first Golden Globe for playing Ron Kovic in Born on the Fourth of July (1989) he was also nominated for an Oscar but didn’t get it.
With Days Of Thunder (1990) came a new wife, Nicole Kidman took Tom’s heart after starring in the film together, although they first met at Kidman’s movie premiere Dead Calm (1989). The couple starred together again in Far and Away (1992). In 1993, came another hit for him when he was in The Firm(1993) with Gene Hackman, Cruise became big, but there’s still something inside him he wanted people to see, the Actor not just the pretty face.
Next Tom played vicious vampire Lestat in Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles (1994) alongside Brad Pitt. Although the author herself didn’t like the casting much, after she saw the movie, she said that the role of Lestat played by Tom Cruise will be remembered like Hamlet when played by Laurence Olivier.
Mission: Impossible (1996) got Tom some Impossible success, the movie was a big hit, which turned into a sequel later on. Now comes the time for his second Golden Globe and Oscar nomination, again he got the Golden Globe but not the Oscar, that was for Jerry Maguire (1996).
Although he played a short role in Magnolia (1999) but he gained a lot of respect for his role, it was a different role from what he had played before; this actually won him a third Golden Globe, another Oscar nomination but not the Oscar itself. The same year the movie Eyes Wide Shut (1999) came out, Tom and Nicole teamed up in front of the screen for the 3rd time, with director Stanley Kubrick, the movie wasn’t a big success.
Now to go on with his second mission, Ethan Hunt returned in Mission: Impossible II (2000), a massive hit, with $70 million in the opening weekend and $215 million total gross in the US alone.
Tom Cruise was a part of the love triangle which had Cameron Diaz and Penelope Cruz in Vanilla Sky (2001), the movie was not bad, but his life took yet another turn; he and Nicole Kidman got divorced the same year of the movie, August 2001. Minority Report (2002) was yet another different role, a science fiction thriller about future cops, with Colin Farrell and the ever famous director Steven Spielberg.
Now Tom wanted to experience a different era, he went back in time to play The Last Samurai (2003), with director Edward Zwick, Cruise was showing people the Actor in him with such a role. Cruise’s latest movie is Collateral (2004) directed by Michael Mann, an action-thriller where Cruise plays a cab driver who finds himself a hostage, and must find a way to save himself and some other hostages from a contact killer.
Ethan Hunt will be returning on his third mission in 2006, in Mission: Impossible III
