Frequently asked questions

Who are George Clooney and Tom Cruise?

They are two of the most famous American actors of their generation. George Clooney, born in Lexington, Kentucky, in 1961, shot to fame in the series ER before a career as an actor, director and producer. Tom Cruise, born in Syracuse, New York, in 1962, has been a star since the 1980s and produces some of his films himself.

Have they ever acted together?

No. The two actors have never shared the bill in a feature film, which means all their best-known films can stay in this quiz.

Do voice roles and directed films count?

A voice role in an animated film counts, since the actor plays a character. Films he only directed or produced without acting in them are not included.
