30 Best Tom Cruise Movies

Okay, so Tom Cruise may not be the most prominent addition to the all-star comedy ensemble of Tropic Thunder. But it’s hard to forget him for playing so against his usual roles. He plays Les Grossman, a short-fused, balding, and hairy-armed studio executive.

His acid-spitting rants are delivered to actors and terrorists, giving Cruise ample room to eat up this role. It was such a memorable performance that Cruise would reprise this hot-headed character for the 2008 MTV Movie Awards.
