Clark,In that case I retract some degree of my comments on Cruise's ego- it takes something to be in his position and not be the main character. He can obviously choose or reject any role he wants.
John Wayne, after he had achieved stardom, I believe, would never accept a role which was not the principle character, though the exception are his scenes in "The Longest Day" which are among the most memorable in terms of personality. In the "cricket scene" Wayne exuded that leadership sensation that if you followed him, you'd have your best chance.
If I was with Cruise and a band of violent muggers appeared, I'd just advise him to get out his checkbook..
Cheers,
