https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethan_Hunt
Ethan Matthew Hunt is a fictional character and the protagonist of the Mission: Impossible film series. He is portrayed by Tom Cruise. The character of Ethan Hunt is a highly skilled field agent and operative for the Impossible Missions Force (IMF), a secret government agency that handles dangerous and high-stakes missions.


Personally, I don't give a shit about all of these made-for-tv/etc. stories and actors. Life is too full with real people and situations.

when I saw him.
