For the latter, he won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor. Cruise's performance in the drama Magnolia (1999) earned him another Golden Globe Award and a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.
Cruise subsequently became a science fiction and action film star, often performing his risky stunts. He has played fictional agent Ethan Hunt in the Mission: Impossible film series since 1996.
