Screen Wallpaper Biography
Still reeling from the 18-year whirlwind that was his life up to that time, Cruise's intensity and hunger for success left an overwhelming impression on commercial casting agents looking for fresh-faced, non-threatening teens to represent their products. Within a year, the peripatetic Cruise was in Los Angeles, where he met Paula Wagner, an agent at Creative Artists Agency who would subsequently guide his film career. After making his feature debut in a small role in the notorious Brooke Shields vehicle "Endless Love" (1981), Cruise gained attention for a supporting role as an increasingly lunatic cadet in "Taps" (1981). He had originally been cast in a small three-line role in the film, but the director was so taken with his intensity, that he bumped Cruise up to a more visible role alongside stars Sean Penn and Timothy Hutton. In 1983, a mere three years after bussing tables, Cruise burst onto the scene with four major studio features. His rough and tumble roots took hold as one in a pack of "Greasers" in Francis Ford Coppola's "The Outsiders," a melodramatic adaptation, but memorable for its gaggle of up-and-coming heartthrobs including Rob Lowe, Matt Dillon and Patrick Swayze. Cautious not to limit her client to typecasting as an angry rebel, Cruise's agent focused on his athleticism and boyish charisma with a role opposite "older woman" Shelly Long in "Losin' It" (1983), a middling coming-of-age comedy. "Risky Business" (1983), however, turned Cruise into an overnight sensation. In his portrayal of an anxious, affluent suburban teen poised precariously on the brink of adulthood, Cruise created a resonant protagonist for young Reagan-era audiences. He even put on some extra pounds to emphasize the softness and vulnerability of the character who flirts with illicit capitalism. In his star-making scene, Cruise, clad in a button-down Oxford shirt, boxer shorts, and Wayfarer sunglasses, played air guitar and danced wildly to Bob Seger's anthem, "Old Time Rock 'n' Roll." Audiences lapped it up, the Golden Globe Awards recognized him with a nomination, and it was enough to woo co-star Rebecca De Mornay, who embarked on a two-plus year relationship with the breakout star.
