[@Shayler78]

I am interested to see how Tom Cruise's career evolves when he is no longer young enough to do these action films. Performances like Born On The Fourth Of July and Interview With The Vampire illustrate what a brilliant actor he is and has a lot more to offer than being just 'Action Man.' I hope he doesn't retire when he can no longer physically do the 'Action' roles, and that he takes more acting risks, rather than just physical ones of the 'Action' variety. He is more than capable.

[@losrajvosa0078]

A few good man to

[@ravibohra]

He is signed to do the tropic thunder spin off (depending on script)

[@testing6753]

In my opinion, aside from him doing his own actions, the bigger reason why he's the biggest action star in the world is that he's able to perform great acting in non action scenes to draw the audience in.

[@thesolitaryadventurer]

He'll be like Newman. He'll act til he drops.

[@glasss1978]

Having followed Tom Cruise since the late 80s, one thing is crystal clear to me. He does have a pretty damn good range as an actor, he has proven he can do serious drama, has great comedic timing (Tropic Thunder) as well as heartpumping action. I love the age of intense stunts driven blockbusters he is giving us right now, but i also look forward to all the complex dramatic roles i am sure we will see from him in his 70s and 80s. I predict a long overdue and well deserved academy award coming his way in his golden years.

5:06. Very interesting take, as he seems to be describing a purely intuitive process, where he is allowing the script to arrive through a type of "Divine Inspiration" or random download, as he waits for ideas to arrive to him, rather than trying to force an idea upon the movie. That's a very interesting perspective, and extremely deep when you think about what that means. With a budget of $290 million, Tom is relying on channeled ideas from the aether to guide the direction of the movie, instead of relying on an accountant and producer in an office. That's extremely fascinating.
