Acquisitions manager at Picturehouse Entertainment here in the UK, Paul Ridd is also Manuela's friend of many years and an avid DVD and Blu-Ray collector. In this episode, he chose to talk about the one and only Tom Cruise – one of the last true movie stars, and a unique one. From playing ambitious and illustrious young men in films like Scorsese's THE COLOR OF MONEY, Cruise went on to strategically undermine that image with more vulnerable roles as in BORN ON THE 4TH OF JULY, only to better build his image as an invincible, transcendent movie icon in action films like the MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE franchise. Paul describes what he enjoys so much in Cruise's intense acting style and in his career choices, and sings the praises of Cameron Crowe's eye-opening film VANILLA SKY.
