Stepping Into the Spotlight
Cruise was born to be in the spotlight, especially at such a young age. A high school instructor pushed him to participate in the school performance of “Guys and Dolls.” when he was younger. After landing the major part of Nathan Detroit, Cruise recognized that being on stage was where he wanted to be.
A Goal Setter And A Go-Getter
Pursuing a career as an actor can be difficult and impossible for some, but Cruise had a plan and a timeframe in place. He had only $500 to his name when he began his acting career in New York. He allowed himself ten years to flourish as an actor in order to strike a balance between pursuing his aspirations and being practical. Fortunately for Cruise, his diligence, tenacity, and preparation paid off.
