He has always had great charisma on the screen. My favorite performances of his are Collateral and Born on the 4th of July. I have no trouble separating an actors performance, talent, and skills from their personal life. I can fully appreciate movies with Tom Cruise, Mel Gibson, and even Woody Allen. Hard to believe Tom Cruise is 60.

For me he showed his true talent in Born on the 4th of July, he gave an amazing performance. Second best was in Rainman.

We ❤️ Rainman!  Every evening at 5:55 pm my husband says, "5 minutes to Wopner!".  Key for "the local news is coming on in 5 minutes".

Agreed.  I enjoy Tom on-screen, but off-screen, I turn & run.

I'm another one who's been a fan since I saw him in Risky Business back in the 80s.

Collateral is one of my favorite movies and I don't usually like that genre of movie.  But he and Jamie Foxx were great in it.

He is an interesting character.,,the choices he has made in life, one wonders why.  As an actor,  he has made some amazing and wonderful films.
