TOM CRUISE BIOGRAPHYwww.tomcruise.com/tom-cruise-biography.html

Tom Cruise has achieved extraordinary success as an actor, producer, and philanthropist in

a career spanning over three decades. He is a three-time Academy Award® nominee and three-time

Golden Globe Award winner whose films have earned in excess of eight billion dollars worldwide—

an incomparable accomplishment. Seventeen of Cruise’s films have grossed over one hundred million

dollars in the United States alone and nineteen have grossed over two hundred million globally.

Since he first appeared on screen in the films “Endless Love” and “Taps” in 1981, Cruise’s versatility

is evidenced by the varied films, and roles, he chooses. He has starred in 37 films, 17 of which

he produced, and has worked with a remarkable list of acclaimed film directors, including

Harold Becker, Francis Ford Coppola, Paul Brickman, Ridley Scott, Tony Scott, Martin Scorsese,

Barry Levinson, Oliver Stone, Ron Howard, Rob Reiner, Sydney Pollack, Neil Jordan, Brian de Palma,

Cameron Crowe, Stanley Kubrick, Paul Thomas Anderson, John Woo, Steven Spielberg, Michael Mann,

J.J. Abrams, Robert Redford, Ben Stiller, Bryan Singer, James Mangold, Brad Bird, Adam Shankman,

Christopher McQuarrie, Joe Kosinski and Doug Liman.

“Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol” opened in December 2011 to critical acclaim and grossed nearly

700 million dollars worldwide making it the biggest box office success of Cruise’s career. The franchise

has brought in over two billion dollars globally since Cruise conceived the idea for the films and began

producing them at Paramount while starring as the legendary spy Ethan Hunt. Brad Bird directed the fourth

film, which Cruise produced with J.J. Abrams.

Most recently, Cruise starred in Christopher McQuarrie’s suspense thriller “Jack Reacher,” based on

the Lee Child book One Shot. The film has grossed over two hundred million dollars worldwide so far.

Next, Cruise stars in Joseph Kosinski’s “Oblivion,” which will be released in April 2013 and he is currently

shooting the sci-fi action film “All You Need Is Kill” directed by Doug Liman to be released in March 2014.

In the summer of 2012, Cruise received critical acclaim as rock star Stacee Jaxx in the film musical

“Rock of Ages.” In 2010, Cruise starred with Cameron Diaz in the romantic-action-comedy

“Knight & Day,” which followed the 2008 release of “Valkyrie.” Cruise played German officer

Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg in the historical thriller about the attempted assassination of Adolf Hitler

during World War II. Both films grossed over 200 million dollars worldwide. Directed by Bryan Singer,

“Valkyrie” is the 5th highest grossing WWII film of all time. In 2008, Cruise also appeared in Ben Stiller’s

comedy smash “Tropic Thunder” as the hip hopping foul-mouthed Hollywood movie mogul Les Grossman.

This performance, based on a character he created, earned him critical acclaim and his seventh

Golden Globe Award nomination.

Cruise received Academy Award® nominations for Best Actor for “Born on the Fourth of July” and

“Jerry Maguire” in addition to, a Best Supporting Actor nomination for “Magnolia.” He also garnered

two Golden Globe Awards for Best Actor for “Born on the Fourth of July” and “Jerry Maguire,”

as well as Best Supporting Actor for “Magnolia”, and nominations for his roles in “Risky Business,”

“A Few Good Men,” “The Last Samurai” and “ Tropic Thunder.” Cruise has also earned acting nominations

and awards from BAFTA, the Screen Actors Guild, the Chicago Film Critics Association, and the National

Board of Review.

His list of memorable credits also includes such diverse films as “Collateral,” “Minority Report,”

“Interview with the Vampire,” “The Firm,” “Rain Man,” “The Color of Money” and “Top Gun.”

Cruise has been honored with tributes ranging from Harvard’s Hasty Pudding Man of the Year Award to the

John Huston Award from the Artists Rights Foundation as well as The American Cinematheque Award for

Distinguished Achievement in Film.

While continuing to explore new artistic challenges, Cruise has used his professional success as a vehicle

for positive change to become an international advocate, activist and philanthropist in the fields of health,

education and human rights. He has been honored by the Mentor-LA organization for his work on behalf

of the children of Los Angeles and around the world and in May 2011, he received the Simon Wiesenthal

Humanitarian Award. This past summer he received the Entertainment Icon Award for Humanitarianism

from the Friars Club. He is the fourth person to receive this honor after Douglas Fairbanks, Cary Grant and

Frank Sinatra.
