Although Cruise is often praised for his commitment to his films via stunt work, Ethan Hawke feels differently. During a recent interview, Hawke shared his less-than-favorable opinion of Cruise frequently doing his own death-defying stunts and how it has changed the film industry. “Tom Cruise has totally changed what’s expected for actors,” Hawke began, according to Variety. It’s not about things blowing up, so most of the stunts were things we could do. In the series, Hawke portrays Lee Raybon, a “truthstorian,” bookstore owner, and rogue journalist attempting to expose corruption in his Tulsa, Oklahoma hometown.
