        汤姆·克鲁斯生于1962年7月3日，父亲是纽约的电气工程师，母亲是个话剧演员，家庭生活充满艰辛。这让克鲁斯养成了一种吃苦勤奋的精神和一种对待生活的乐观态度。他早年的愿望是做一名牧师，在旧金山神学院进修。接触影视文艺是个极其偶然的机会，他参加了校内音乐剧的演出，从此开始对戏剧与演出十分着迷，加入了当地的剧院。后来又将准备到欧洲去旅游的钱用于到纽约寻求演艺圈内的发展。
        克鲁斯无疑是21世纪好莱坞人人崇拜的典范：不满40岁的时候，他已跻身2000万美元俱乐部；在票房成绩上他仅次于头发已然花白的哈里森·福特；他拥有自己的制片公司；由他主演的《碟中谍续集》尽管评价一般，但仍然在2000年暑期掀起一场票房狂潮。2001年，他和导演Cameron Crowe继《甜心先生》之后再度合作，拍摄了奇情惊悚片《香草的天空》，而2002年中还有和Steven Spielberg合作的科幻大片《少数派报告》。目前，阿汤哥参演电影的全球累计票房已突破七十亿美元。
