“I’m just an actor,” he said. “Tom, you gotta try,” I told him.
And he did.
- Brian De Palma on Mission: Impossible (1996)
Even Tom Cruise had a Day 1🤭

Simon: “Don’t listen to him!”🤣

Rolf Saxon shared a story from Mission: Impossible 1
Tom quietly sent his personal doctor to help a crew member’s kid and then warned everyone in the room not to leak it. No PR. “That’s the kind of guy he is.”
McQ on Tom Cruise’s leaked audio during the Dead Reckoning shoot:
“That was not a guy pissed off because his latte was cold… He was on the phone every night fighting the good fight to keep things going, to keep things alive. I watched him will that into existence."
‘You make fun of the actors, you make fun of everybody, the agents and all that, but you don’t make fun of the studio heads. You should have a studio head!’
After Tom Cruise read Ben Stiller’s early script for Tropic Thunder, he came up with the idea for Les Grossman👍
