NEW YORK-Lauren Bacall tells TIME Tom Cruise is not a great actor. "When you talk about a great actor, you're not thinking about Tom Cruise," Bacall says.
"His whole behavior is so shocking. It's inappropriate and vulgar and absolutely unacceptable to use your private life to sell anything commercially, but I think it's a kind of sickness."
LOL.
Great!
Hey Drudge...this needs a siren.
Hehe!
Very true.
I still say that Jerry Maguire proved that Tom Cruise has perfected his straight man acting.
Yeah rack Betty hey guys I don't know if you this I think TCM going have entire day of Betty Bacall movie to kick Star of the day on TCM tommorow actually
but she was a worse actor than Tom Cruise
Oh just wait, he'll put something up on the Siren whether its important or not for his radio show tonight.
???????????????
Yep..
Lauren is going nutty. She may not like what Tom promotes outside of work but that doesn't make him a Bad actor.
I'm no fan of Cruise by the way.
Long ago days and now, only cherished memories. Hollywood has become symbolic of vulgarity, for the most part; why would not the bulk of today's actresses and actors not also be?
Tom Cruise sucks. This is news?
I don't think that he is a great actor, either. Some actors get so far into a part that they become someone else. I never see him that way. It is as if he is trying to play the part as himself: If I, Tom Cruise, had become a fighter pilot, this is the way I would be. If I, Tom Cruise, had become an attorney, this is the way I would be. Etc., etc. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but it doesn't make them a great actor. The great ones actually turn into and become someone else.
We watched Collateral last night. He played a totally different character. No, he is not a great actor, and he is certifiably an idiot, but at least he played a non-brassy young upstart in that movie.
