Tom Cruise

Tom Cruise was born in 1962 and he is an american motion-picture actor, who became a celebrity in the 1980s after his performance in Risky Business (1983), a satire of suburban adolescence. In the 1990s Cruise became one of the world’s most popular film stars.
Born in Syracuse, New York, he appeared in a succession of motion pictures in the early 1980s that focused on adolescent characters, such as The Outsiders (1983). He then moved on to roles in major productions such as Legend (1985); The Color of Money (1986), directed by Martin Scorsese; and Top Gun (1986), about United States Navy fighter pilots.
Cruise received praise for his performance in Rain Man (1988), in which he played the brother of an autistic man. In Born on the Fourth of July (1989), he portrayed a veteran of the Vietnam War (1959-1975) who becomes an antiwar activist.

Although his works during this period earned a mixed reception from critics, Cruise’s popularity with motion-picture audiences grew dramatically.
