Thriller Actors

I have researched the most well known thriller actors in the business and have found alot of information about them.

First on the list is Tom Cruise. He has apperead in many thiller films, incuding 'Collateral', 'Minority Report', 'War of the Worlds' and the 'Mission Impossible' trilogy. He was born on the 3rd of July, 1962, in New York and is a scientoligist.
His most recent thriller film is the third 'Mission Impossible' film, which stars him. Here is the trailor for it...

In this trailor, the opening section is Tom Cruise's character, Ethan Hunt, being interrogated. This also opens the film and is very effective as the interogator is asking him questions that we don't understand about a 'Rabbitfoot'. This scene is repeated later on in the film and so, as an audience, we already know what is going to happen, the bit that we need to work out, is why it happened!


The next actor i am going to look at, is Matt Damon. Thriller films that he has appeared in, include 'The Departed', 'The Bourne Identity' series and 'The Oceans Eleven' series. He was born on the 8th of October, 1970, in Boston and now has 2 children.
One of his most recen films is 'Ocean's Thirteen'. This is the trailor for it...

The last time we saw Danny Ocean's crew, they were paying back ruthless casino mogul Terry Benedict after stealing millions from him. However, it's been a while since they've come back together, which is all about to change. When one of their own, Reuben Tishkoff builds a hotel with known casino owner Willy Banks, the last thing he ever wanted was to get cut out of the deal personally by the loathsome Banks. Banks' attitude even goes so far as to finding the amusement in Tishkoff's misfortune when the double crossing lands Reuben in the hospital because of a heart attack. However, Danny and his crew won't stand for Banks and what he's done to a friend. Uniting with their old enemy Benedict, who himself has a vendetta against Banks, the crew is out to pull off a major plan. One that will unfold on the night Banks' newest hot spot opens up, when the crew is out to bankrupt one of the city's most despised businessmen. But they're not in this for the money, but for the revenge.


The final actor I am going to look at is Nicole Kidman. She is an australian actress and has appeared in such thriller films as 'To Die For', 'The Others', 'Eyes Wide Shut' and 'Dogville'. She was born on the 20th of June, 1967, in Honolulu and was once married to Tom Cruise.

A recent film that she has been in is 'The Others'. This is the trailor for it...
A woman named Grace retires with her two children to a mansion on Jersey, towards the end of the Second World War, where she's waiting for her husband to come back from battle. The children have a disease which means they cannot be touched by direct sunlight without being hurt in some way. They will live alone there with oppressive, strange and almost religious rules, until she needs to hire a group of servants for them. Their arrival will accidentally begin to break the rules with unexpected consequences.


These are all modern actors and have been rated in the top ten thriller actors, at present.
