The 2000s were a period of expansion for Tom Cruise, as he explored a wide range of genres and broadened his acting spectrum. He solidified his status as an action star with Mission: Impossible 2 and Mission: Impossible 3 while also proving his box office power in sci-fi blockbusters like Minority Report and War of the Worlds. Additionally, he showcased his depth in drama with Vanilla Sky and The Last Samurai and took on the challenge of playing a cold-blooded villain in Collateral, demonstrating his versatility.

During this time, Cruise evolved beyond being just an action star by embracing diverse roles. He portrayed a historical figure in Valkyrie and surprised audiences with his outrageous comedic performance in Tropic Thunder. Furthermore, he expanded his influence in Hollywood by stepping into production. The 2000s were a defining decade for him, marked by bold choices and a continuous pursuit of new challenges, solidifying his place as one of the industry's most dynamic and influential actors.

You know stuff's about to go down when the character played by Hiroyuki Sanada shows up for the finale with messy hair and a half-smile

(and very little sanity left in the case of the latter two)

Action, drama, comedy, musical, romance, documentary, sci-fi, period pieces, crime, horror, thriller, mystery, etc. There’s nothing Tom Cruise can't do.

It's hard to understand why he hasn't won an Oscar, but he's already beyond the stage where he needs to prove himself with an Oscar. Instead, he has earned something far more valuable, the title of 'the last movie star in the world.' 👍

here is the post where the future will see how absolutely UNDERRATED hiroyuki sanada is.

He should've been famous or at least as recognized like 10 or 20 years ago.

This man was in two marvel movies, one was in X Men with Hugh Jackman, and one in Endgame but his character was there to be killed by Hawkeye but still. Go sword fighting!!

He was also in Rush Hour(aka the most badass and iconic movie trilogy ever) with Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker. Also in a movie w Brad Pitt (Bullet Train), in two movies w Keanu Reeves (47 Ronin, John Wick), ALSO w Tom Cruise (The Last Samurai and if I'm not mistaken there's one more but I forgot), he was also in a movie w Jake Gyllenhaal and Ryan Reynolds(Life).

He deserved all those roles, and he was in so so many big movies, yet he is still so underrated. Man is 60 years old, moving and swinging his sword faster than anyone his age, trust me I'm not even 20 and I'm having back pains just by standing for 30 minutes. A phenomenal actor, very handsome, amazing chemistry with all of the actors he works with, also very sweet and humble. No controversies or dramas.
