“He’s so slick”: the 1986 role Paul Newman said any actor “would kill for”
Brought back a legend from the early ’60s.

Tom Cruise is one of Hollywood’s most successful actors, whose career has spanned more than four decades.
Rising to fame in the 1980s through films such as ‘Risky Business’ and ‘Top Gun’, Cruise became one of cinema’s biggest box office stars with acclaimed performances in ‘Rain Man’, ‘A Few Good Men’, ‘Jerry Maguire’ and ‘Magnolia’.
He is perhaps best known for portraying Ethan Hunt in the hugely successful ‘Mission: Impossible’ franchise, helping redefine the modern action blockbuster through his commitment to practical stunts and large-scale filmmaking.
A four-time Academy Award nominee and three-time Golden Globe winner, Cruise remains one of the highest-grossing actors in film history and a defining figure of contemporary Hollywood cinema.

Got there in the end.
He got the last laugh.

Only took him 30 years.
Spoiler: it was dreadful.
