+Harvey Lee I think you may be focusing on the wrong part of your assertion. The fact that you were educated at all is hard to get.

[@AerialEscape]

Fun fact: Because Tom Cruise created one of Tropic Thunder's best characters, he demanded that his input be put in to the finished product, and he was willing to learn whatever it took to get the job done. It was, and it was glorious. Les Grossman proved so popular and so in-demand that Cruise agreed to bring him to the MTV Movie Awards back in 2010. It's amazing what hilarious mid-credits dancing can do for your career. "I take classes all the time to learn things or I want to improve a skill… singing, music, something I’m studying. I take dance classes and I took hip-hop classes and then I’ll find a character to put that with." After that earlier tidbit, Tom Cruise circled back to Les Grossman and said what everyone in the room (and probably on the planet) wanted to hear: "I said, ‘Look, I’d love to play this character, but I want to have fat hands and I’m gonna dance.'

[@kosmosyche]

I wonder if he had a specific real life person in mind, when he created the character. I mean, fat hands seem like an awfully specific and unusual detail to be insisting upon. I'm sure he saw plenty of guys to draw inspirations from in the business. lol

@ CVAZprime.......Nice to know there is still at least one other 'thinking' person in this brain-dead nation of ours besides myself. DreamWorks should produce a spin-off feature film built around the Les Grossman character with Tom as the lead. Think of all the shenanigans that could be worked into a premise about a self-centered, ego maniac, narcissistic, unscrupulous, maniacal studio head; the script would practically write itself. If well written Tom would have a shoe-in for an Academy nomination, and perhaps garnering his first win. Fuck it.....I think I'll pitch the idea myself. Now if only I could find Steven Spielberg's cell phone number I misplaced a couple of weeks ago. --Kpayton911 12/21/14

FATAL BOOM RECORDS You speak in paragraphs and it drags on like the winding staircase of which no one has scaled. Much like the crap that spews from your mouth. Yours truly - Samuel

FATAL BOOM RECORDS Do you know what phallic objects shoved in you feels like from personal experience? No wonder why you seem to dislike it so much.

I actually really enjoyed seeing Tom Cruise acting like this, i never expected something like this from him and it's fucking hilarious

[@danielmoorefield4891]

It wasn’t till the credits rolled when I saw this opening night that I realized that was Tom Cruise. It’s been ten years this Summer.

[@patrickguidice3786]

[@Krynictrace]

Was itjust me or did anyone else not see it was Tom Cruise until the credits when it said his name?

[@thepakiusa]

***** Same here but while watching the movie, I just couldn't figure out who this actor was cause he looked so familiar to me! And then when I saw Tom Cruise's name in the credits, I was like woah so that was Tom Cruise....couldn't believe it!

[@thepakiusa]

***** At that time, I hadn't watched too many of Tom's movies so I wasn't so familiar with him.

[@CH-zc8qx]

I recognized his voice and his eyes...other than those I wouldnt have known he was Tom
