there is absolutly no reason why some become stars or regulars on tv.....Tom Cruise for instance..he had that boyish cuteness but so did lots of others....why did he make it and not the others?
Its called connections. If you dig deep enough you will find someone pulling strings for those who make it. Plus the fact that there is nothing democratic about Hollywood. Its a snake pit of greed, back stabbing and destruction.
Tom Cruise has had major plastic surgery too. In his first two earlier movies, check out his face. He was not that hot IMHO not to mention he was really short. Yeah why did he make it and others didn’t?
