Not quite right. That URI identifies the Wikipedia article about Tom
Cruise. 

DBpedia has a own URI for identifying the "concept" Tom Cruise, i.e. the
person himself, with all the data about him.
That URI is http://dbpedia.org/resource/Tom_Cruise

So your query to get all data about Tom Cruise is

        DESCRIBE <http://dbpedia.org/resource/Tom_Cruise>


Cheers,
Georgi
