What character comes to mind when you think of Tom Cruise?

His IMDB page:
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000129/

Cruise is like the actor. At least in my mind when I think actor Cruise comes up first. He's in so many big movies... but I missed out on some of his big big ones.

To me he's Ethan Hunt from the Mission Impossible series.

Also Tom Cruise Crazy totally came on my spotify while I was writing this topic... What a crazy random happenstance!

i mostly remember him for his fucking insane scientology ramblings these days


that man is a real piece of shit, and im sort of happy to see him slowly fading from the limelight.

i feel like it'd be better for everyone if he just died, but i suppose slipping into obscurity will have to do.

Ethan Hunt? He's been in so many action movies that he's just Tom Cruise. So I just picked the Mission Impossible series.

Alright sweet! Although I really wanna do Robin Williams too at some point so I'm gonna chuck him in there somewhere. Also I will keep this whole list in a text document but it's not gonna appear in full in each topic... And I guess if someone nominates someone it'll move 'em up the list.

Or input on how to improve the topic.

what's the actual point of this? it doesn't seem like it's to find the #1 most iconic role or anything, it seems more about just discussing and commenting. in which case, should we talk about the actor's best roles in general, rather than just "what comes to mind first"?

I mean, yeah, discuss. I try to at the start with my post. But it's more intended as just a... game? Kinda... Just to see where you relate with one another and what not. It's not really about which role was best more of a 'When I think of Tom Cruise in my mind I see him as Ethan Hunt'. I mean I do see him as the crazy scientologist dude who jumps on couches... It's be more pronounced in someone like Johnny Depp or Patrick Stewart. I just think it's easier to take part if it's mostly about that.

But I mean, sure, I'd love to hear what your favorite Tom Cruise movie is. I really like Edge of Tomorrow. It was a lot of fun and while I've not see Cruise it many movies that was my favorite of his. MI5 was pretty sweet too and I should totally go back and watch the others. I'm probably gonna see the new one when it happens if it's well received. I also watched Rain Man for some class (creative writing, maybe... we watched a bunch of movies) and that was pretty great from what I remember.

MI hasn't aged very well, but still kind of worth a watch. Skip 2, it sucks and has nothing to do with the other movies whatsoever. 3rd one was when it started getting pretty good. The 4th one is where the movies became straight up amazing, definitely recommend this one if you decide to only watch one of the previous movies.
