TOM CRUISE

In 1976, if you had told 14 year old Franciscan seminary student Thomas Cruise Mapother IV that one day in the not too distant future he would be considered one of the top 100 movie stars of all time, he would have probably grinned and told you that his ambition was to become a priest. Nonetheless, this sensitive, deeply religious youngster who was born in July 1962 in Syracuse, New York, was destined to become Tom Cruise, one of the highest paid and most sought after actors in screen history.

The month after Tom was born, in August 1962 at the age of 18, I began my life of pioneering-travelling for the Canadian Bahá'í community, first in Canada and then overseas in Australia. If you had told me in 1962 that I would be teaching in a university in 1976 I, too, would have grinned and would not have believed you. My academic rise was not in the same league as the rise of Tom Cruise. I, too, was a sensitive and deeply religious youngster, but my religious sensibility took me in a different direction from that of this movie icon. In 1990 Tom joined the Church of Scientology after experiencing a miracle cure for his dyslexia. By 2009 I had been a Bahá'í for 50 years, had experienced no miracle cures, at least none that I could put down to my religious beliefs, and had been on an old-age pension for five months. -Ron Price with thanks to Wikipedia, 26 December 2009.

You headed for New York just as I
was finally heading out of hospital
with a medication for my BPD.....
you for a possible acting career and
me for a possible teaching career....

The next 15 years of your life were
the stuff of legends: a film debut in
1981 and from the outset exhibiting
an undeniable box office appeal to...
both male and female audiences.......

Though below average height and
not particularly handsome in that
traditional sense by 1986 you were
starring in some of top grossing
films of the 1980s:Top Gun (1986);
The Colour of Money(1986) and
Rain Man (1988). In the 1990s you
were, arguably, the highest paid actor
in the world earning millions for each
picture and I, Tom, was at the end of
my teaching career. Life takes us all
downs such different roads, eh Tom?

I think Cruise has done a great job of selecting roles. I love the range from Jerry Maguire to Born on the Fourth of July.

Here are some lists of the Best Tom Cruise Movies from rankography.

Tom is the best.

It's a FACT people.

Listen, some actors can entertain you on screen. But never off. Tom Cruise has some entertaining movies, but his real life is even MORE entertaining. Top Gun? Check. Jumping on Oprah's couch? Check. Days of Thunder (best movie ever)? Check. Having dawson turned into a stepford wife? CHECK!

You all are wrong.

I actually love Tom Cruise movies. I don't pay attention to actors personal lives because i'm not a stay-at-home mom, but his movie batting average is pretty fucking high, in my opinion. His next movie is going to be directed by David Cronenberg...how awesome is that?!
