Tom Cruise has an incredibly strong and consistent filmography for someone who has remained so active for almost forty years

While just looking through Tom Cruise’s filmography I was surprised that for someone with 49 acting credits who has been acting nonstop since 1981 he has a very strong record with multiple classics and nothing too terrible or that bombed too hard. Obviously he is still a massive movie star (which is equally impressive to still be such a huge name after all these years) and everone knows he is a legend this was still impressive to realize.

1981 Endless Love

1981 Taps

1983 The Outsiders

1983 Losin' It

1983 Risky Business

1983 All the Right Moves

2015 Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation

2016 Jack Reacher: Never Go Back

2017 The Mummy

2017 American Made

2018 Mission: Impossible – Fallout

While their are the occasional blunder especially the past decade (The Mummy, American Made Rock of Ages) this still a very strong record financially with his combined movies making over 10 billion worldwide and critically with only the first two background supporting roles having under a 5/10 on IMDB.

Is he an excellent actor? I wouldn’t say so but he does what he does very well and he has been in some excellent movies like Eyes Wide Shut and Magnolia

Do actors with better filmographies exist? Yeah obviously but so many don’t work as consistently as he does.

and yeah he is a scientologist which isn’t really cool but everyone knows that

Whats your favorite Tom Cruise role?

Who do you think has a better long running filmography?

Will he survive the upcoming SpaceX produces movie set in actual space? or is he doing it as an elaborate way to die in space with his gods?
