A Film Star I Like

My favourite actor is Tom Cruise.

Tom is an American actor and producer. He was born in 1962 in Syracuse, New York. He started appearing in films in 1981 when he played a small part in the film "Endless Love".

Tom Cruise became famous after starring int such films as "Top Gun", "Rain Man", "A Few Good Men", "The Vampire Chronicles", "Mission: Impossible" and "Jerry Maguire". His recent films are "Jack Reacher" and "The Mummy". Most of his films are action films, thrillers, dramas and science-fiction films.

My favourite films with this actor are a "Mission: Impossible" film series where Tom plays a part of Ethan Hunt, a special agent of the Impossible Missions Force. The first film appeared in 1996 and the latest one was released in 2018. I like these films because their plot is always interesting and there are a lot of special effects and stunts in them. I admire Tom Cruise because he is a great actor and he always does his own stunts.
