I strongly disagree with that. Tom Cruise has done alot of diverse roles and has done many of them brilliantly. Sadly, because he is a "hunk" and a boxoffice draw for the ladies, he doesn't get credit for his work. Indeed, I think he was more deserving of the Oscar for best actor for his work in "Rain Man" than Dustin Hoffman, who got the award for playing a handicapped person. His work in "Minority Report", "War of the Worlds", etc. was also very good. Another person who is trapped by his good looks from being appreciated is Brad Pitt. I think he should have gotten the Oscar for his physical acting in "Troy" which I thought was brilliant. > > Unlike Al Pacino who has played 10 characters over 20 films. > > Though Jim Carrey has played 40 characters over 20 films. > > So quantity is not necessariy quality. > ------------------------ Yahoo!
