In the Brat Pack Western Young Guns, Tom Cruise makes an uncredited appearance as a gunslinging villain.
Would it be accurate to dub Tom Cruise “The King of Hollywood”? He’s easily the most powerful actor of his generation, and given that his filmography reads like a compilation of the most critically and commercially successful films of the last forty years, there’s an argument to be made there. It’s the sort of achievement that only comes from a lifetime dedicated to one leading performance after another, and for the most part, Cruise has done just that.
Tom Cruise Went From ‘Top Gun’ Star To Unnamed Henchman in ‘Young Guns' The 1980s saw the release of numerous coming-of-age films centered on a select group of young actors nicknamed the “Brat Pack." Young Guns isn’t a core entry in this movement, but thanks to a starring turn by the group’s unofficial president Emilio Estevez – alongside appearances by two of its associated members, Charlie Sheen and Kiefer Sutherland – it can absolutely be included in the conversation.
Those intrigued to watch Young Guns by the promise of a surprise Tom Cruise cameo should know that they’ll be waiting a long time. It takes until the climatic shootout between the film’s vying factions for Cruise to waltz his way into the carnage as a henchman to the villainous Lawrence Murphy , but don’t take that as a sign to cheer and applaud.
Tom Cruise and Emilio Estevez Became Friends on 'The Outsiders' Which brings us to the salient question here – why did Cruise accept such a minuscule role? Cruise himself has never provided an answer, but interviews with his coworkers suggest that it was simply a bit of fun between friends. Cruise had met Estevez when he appeared alongside him in Francis Ford Coppola’s seminal coming-of-age drama The Outsiders , and the two had enjoyed a close relationship ever since.
‘Young Guns’ Is a Fun Addition to Tom Cruise’s Filmography Four months after the release of Young Guns, Cruise cemented his status as Hollywood’s next superstar thanks to a leading role in Rain Man, the Best Picture-winning dramedy that ended 1988 as the highest-grossing film of the year. Before long, he was receiving his first Academy Award nomination for Born on the Fourth of July and headlining box office sensations like it was child’s play. And the rest, as the saying goes, is history.
