Cruise is definitely a true actor who happened to be phenomenal in action roles. Of all the names we've thrown around in here, he’s gotta be the best actual actor of the bunch. I can’t tell if that makes him more or less impressive. Who deserves more points: a guy like Cruise who is talented enough to dominate any role or a guy like Arnie who rose to the top of the mountain despite clearly not being a natural?
In any case, check out this filmography:
Top Gun, Top Gun: Maverick, Days of Thunder, Mission: Impossible 1-7, Minority Report, Collateral, The Last Samurai, War of the Worlds, Jack Reacher, Oblivion, Edge of Tomorrow.
All while putting in top notch drama efforts in flicks like A Few Good Men and Jerry Maguire as well as funny features in Tropic Thunder and Austin Powers lol dude’s career is absurd.
Something I’m noticing is that the heavies all have at least one major action franchise boosting their status. Willis has Die Hard, Arnie’s got Terminator, Sly has Rambo, etc.
Then there’s Keanu with two of them..
