Although there is a lot of negative feedback about Tom Cruise, he is a very admirable and professional actor. I have seen a lot of his films but the most memorable is his role as Ethan Hunt from Mission Impossible franchise, I have watched it several times and I cannot remember exactly the first time since the movies are available on cable tv. However, I have seen all of them though not in chronological order.
He plays Ethan Hunt an IMF agent who is an incorruptible agent, who believes in the greater good and he is a force to be reckoned with by his enemies. He is willing to sacrifice his personal happiness for his job. So Tom Cruise is already around sixty but he does his own stunt. His work ethic is really good, most actors will just do CGI but he will insist as he believes people pay good money to see actors doing stunts and other breathtaking things.
What I admire most, though, is his consistency. Unlike many actors who slow down after a certain age, he continues to push himself physically for every new installment of the franchise, whether that means learning to pilot a helicopter or performing a HALO jump. It shows a level of dedication to the craft that goes beyond simply reading lines, and it’s part of the reason the character of Ethan Hunt still feels believable after so many films.
Part 3 – Follow-up Questions
Do you think actors have a big influence on society?
Yes, I believe they do, especially on younger audiences. Actors are often seen as role models, and the way they behave both on and off screen can shape how people think about certain issues, from social causes to lifestyle choices.
Is it important for actors to do their own stunts?
Not necessarily, since CGI and stunt doubles exist for safety reasons. However, I do think it adds authenticity to a performance, and audiences often respond more strongly to action that feels real rather than digitally created.
