I care… when I see Al Pacino or Christopher Walken work, or De Niro’s early work and Richard Harris and Ray Winstone, that’s the kind of actor I want to be. A lot of guys who tried to stretch themselves as actors.”
According to Rourke, Cruise hasn’t stretched his acting muscles for the last three decades. When asked if Tom Cruise is a good actor, Rourke replied: “I think it’s irrelevant”.
