Sean Penn and Tom Cruise In 1981
The military drama, Taps, introduced us to notable Hollywood A-listers, including Sean Penn and Tom Cruise. The coming of age movie would then propel the two actors’ careers to unparalleled heights.
Cruise initially landed a role in the movie as a background actor, but the role was beefed up when he impressed the director during rehearsals. It was Penn’s film debut, and the very next year, he appeared in the Fast Times at Ridgemont High. The photo was taken on the set of the film in 1981.
