Tom Cruise

Thomas Cruise Mapother IV was born July 3, 1962, in Syracuse, N.Y. He was the only boy in the family and had three sisters: Marian, Lee Anne and Cass.
Tom Cruise made a strong impression in the teen comedy Risky Business (1983) and then had his first box-office smash as the fighter jock Maverick in Top Gun (1986).
Cruise and his cocky grin were propelled higher onto Hollywood’s A-list thanks to a string of successful movies: Rain Man (1988, with Dustin Hoffman), The Color of Money (1986, with Paul Newman), A Few Good Men (1992, with Jack Nicholson) and Jerry Maguire (1996, with Cuba Gooding, Jr. saying “Show me the money!”).
Cruise has remained one of Hollywood’s busiest actors, taking on blockbuster franchises such as Mission: Impossible (Cruise played superspy Ethan Hunt in the original and two sequels in 1996, 2000 and 2006) as well as more diverse dramas such as Magnolia (1999), Vanilla Sky (2001) and the Steven Spielberg movies Minority Report (2002, co-starring Samantha Morton) and War of the Worlds (2005).
Cruise began dating actress Katie Holmes in 2005.
Dubbed “TomKat” by the tabloids, they had a daughter, Suri, on 18 April 2006, and were married in Italy on 18 November 2006.
