I dont understand the argument. Is an actor who plays his core-self in all parts a bad thing? I mean, do you really think if Denzel or Cruise dresses up like a zombie that makes them a great actor?

Personally I like most movies by Cruise, Lewis, Hanks, Stallone, etc.

The greatist character actor out there is Meryl Streep and to me its not close.


now I'm lost. are you with me or against me lol?
im not even sayin I don't enjoy tom cruise movies. im jus saying he plays himself in every role.
pretty sure the director of valkyrie was like "ok how do we make cruise german??" and all they could come up with was "lets put an eye patch on him".

Not really either. I just thought your post was in response to the other poster who doesn't like Lewis and I read that you feel the same way about Cruise.

My point is that all actors play themselves to some degree and I think thats what I like about them. Cruise is not the same character in "Collateral" as he is in "All the Right Moves"
