Leave how many times he's jumped on Oprah's couch or the other shit he does in his Personal Life aside,but purely as an actor,do you think he's good?

I have trouble taking him seriously with the Scientology angle. And looking back over his career, what I've seen of it, I thought he was great in the Last Samurai, but otherwise not really.

 

[HelterSkelter]

I think he gets tossed around by a lot of people,guys in particular,for being a sex symbol amongst young females.Have you seen Collateral?

 

[Martin]

No.

Yes, he was great in some movies and average in others. I loved Jerry Maguire, Top Gun, A few good men, Vanilla Sky. I thought he was also good in War of the Worlds and I was happy he wasn't portrayed as the hero that puts on a helmet and defeats the Aliens.
Where I wasn't impressed were the MI2 and MI3 movies.
All in all, forget the whole Scientology/jumping on couches/the whole southpark thing/ just being really weird, he has charisma and a certain presence alot of actors would kill for.
I heard in his free time he's an adrenaline junky.

I want to hear Swag and Pado's input on this

I never liked him personally, and not because of scientology or Oprah's escapade, but he's a pretty solid actor. Not on par with some of his contemoraries, mainly Johnny Depp, but he had some good performances. Vanilla Sky, Collateral, The Last Samurai, Rain Man..all good movies IMO.

He's ok, but he just needs to chill the fuck out sometimes, you know what I mean?

 

[Snoop]

He is doing the acting job properly, btw what is wrong on jumping over oprah's couch, I would even jump on her fat stomach If I were Tom

 

[gray]

Doesn't anyone else think he plays Tom Cruise in every single movie?

 

[Snoop]

true that, his characters doesn't vary that much. But he plays it good the role Tom Cruise

 

[Geof]

Tom Cruise has never impressed me as an actor. He's not bad, but not great either;

But he plays it good the role Tom Cruise

True that! He's the best Tom Cruise out there for sure!

 

[HelterSkelter]

Every actor has a specific style that he's well known for.Though i do agree that he does do a lot of it.Collateral is one movie where he plays a different and pretty good role.A Few Good Men might fall under the same bracket too.

Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson have a similar problem..

Yet I do think the three of them have had a great career. Tom Cruise especially has had roles in a lot of quality movies. I think he's an okay actor, but I have always found him particularly ugly and never understood the sex symbol thing. That is, until someone told me I looked like him .

 

[Azzurri7]

Good point Sev, also add to them Denzel Wash, but he's simply one of my fav actors.

Back to Tom, I think he's very decent and smart actor, so yes i respect him as an actor.

I respect only the actors who aren't well-off by the star system.
