I don't think he is a great actor, all he does is smile his way through his movies. Anybody else see his movie Vanilla Sky or the one with his now ex-wife Nicole about the orgies and sex parties? OMG were they bad- after seeing that crap I never thought Creepy Cruise was anything but an annoying smirk on film.
I thought it was OK, but as a fan of the original H G Wells story I was disappointed in how poorly if followed the book.
Maybe I've seen him in other movies, but if I did it didn't make much of an impression...
