Larry Gude
Strung Out
In every single one of those movies he plays a cocky guy tormented by something from his past to highlight his Mr. Sensitive side.
Mission Impossible
Top Gun
Days of Thunder
etc etc etc
Don't get me wrong, I love Tom Cruise movies. But he's the same character in every one of them.
I forgot Days, the single greatest easy watchin' movie, ever! Duval! What's her face! What's his face! The other what's his face!!!
