MUMBAI: This Sunday 5 November, James Lipton chats up with Tom Cruise on Inside the Actors Studio, in an exclusive two hour special episode only on PIX.

Tom Cruise made his film debut with a small part in Endless Love (1981) and from the outset exhibited an undeniable box office appeal to both male and female audiences. Cruise rode high on hits such as Top Gun and Rain Man. Although his popularity dimmed slightly in the early '90s, he was able to bounce back with a string of hits that re-established him as both an action hero and, in the case of Jerry Maguire, Mission Impossible and Magnolia, a talented actor.
