Jimmy Stewart was a way better actor than Tom Cruise.

I think with actors like Cruise, they are in the public eye so much that no matter how good a job they do a in a role, their over exposure in the media means you have a hard time getting past the shell, so to speak.

Those that don't whore themselves in the media are the ones that are better able to immerse themselves within a role and the viewer doesn't automatically think, "Hey, that is such-a-body playing...."
