Making Ends Meet
Way before he was raking in millions, Cruise started out like many other up and coming actors. While he was hoping to become a star, he worked off jobs that included being a busboy and a porter. His hard work and perseverance ended up paying off, big time.
Nine Times A Soldier
Many actors who have a specific breakout role end up being typecast, but luckily for Cruise, this didn’t happen, even though he did play a soldier in nine films. He played a member of the military in Taps, Top Fun, The Last Samurai, Jack Reacher: Never Go Back, and many more.
