Tom Cruise
Tom Cruise Biography:
Born July 3, 1962, in Syracuse, N.Y., Thomas Cruise Mapother had a peripatetic childhood, changing schools 15 times by the time he finally settled with his mother and stepfather in Glen Ridge, NJ, in 1974.
A one-time Franciscan seminary student (Cruise renounced Catholicism and embraced Scientology in 1990), Cruise developed an interest in acting as a teenager, dropped out of high school and headed across the Hudson River for a possible career on Broadway.
After Cruise made his film debut in Endless Love (1981) and gained popularity with the teen comedy Risky Business (1983), his career kicked into high gear in a series of leading roles -- Top Gun (1986), The Color of Money (1986), Rain Man (1988), Mission: Impossible (1996) and Jerry Maguire (1996) -- that were box office bonanzas and ensured his megastar status.
