 People Who Succeeded Against All Odds

Tom Cruise  is one of the most successful actors in Hollywood, winning 3 Golden Globe Awards, and 3 Academy award nominations. Tom had an abusive father growing up and lived in stricken poverty sleeping in cars, and living in trailer parks for most of his childhood life. His family ended up moving 15 times for his dad to find work. Despite every set-back imaginable

Tom Cruise persisted and went on to become one of Hollywood’s greatest actors against all odds. He got his first break at 19 in the 1981 film Endless Love, and from there it was history. Some of his Hollywood blockbuster hits include, Top Gun, Rain Man, Born on fourth of July, Jerry Maguire, War of the World’s, Mission Impossible, Jack Reacher, Oblivion, and many others including Eyes Wide Shut. In 2012 Tom Cruise was Hollywood’s highest paid actor.

I like Cruise and his movies, just wish he hadn't got tangled up with that cult.   Quite a few Hollywood celebs have also, so....

I remember seeing him in Taps and then The Outsiders and thinking he was going to be a star. Right before Risky Business, which IMHO made him a star, he was in a great little h.s. football flick All the Right Moves which I really enjoyed. He has had a few clunkers along the way, but he's box office gold now. I think the most impressed I have been with him was seeing him play the assassin in Collateral, great movie.

I guess he's most famous for his action movies, but he does well w/ both dramatic roles and romantic comedies, too.

And one thing I like about him is that while I've read he's "mostly" a Democrat, he's appeared in ads for a Republican candidate (another Scientologist, I believe). Still, however he thinks politically, he basically keeps it to himself.
