The actor appears on today's episode of "The Oprah Winfrey Show" to celebrate his career. It's been 25 years since the release of "Risky Business" made him a star.
The show is the second of a two-part appearance with Winfrey. For Friday's broadcast, Winfrey visited Cruise at his home in Telluride, Colorado for a sit-down interview that centered on more controversial subjects.
Today's show features taped tributes from Cruise's co-stars over the years, including Renee Zellweger and Dustin Hoffman, and director Steven Spielberg.
Cruise says he gets slightly nervous before each project, but then excited, because he loves making movies so much.
