Exactly, flagamuffin and Meriadoc you cannot casually discard his roles in Magnolia, Jerry McGuire and Born on the 4th. You can't. He's exceptionally good in them and most actors never get to have one performance like that yet alone 3.

Frank TJ Mackey is an amazing character and stands out in a film full of amazing characters. Cruise has skills he just picks some crappy projects here and there. If he weren't a wacko off screen this conversation doesn't even happen.
