Silver screen staple Tom Cruise is one of Hollywood's most entertaining leading men and a certified action superstar, with an illustrious career spanning four decades and countless big screen knockouts. In 1996, he proved himself to be one of the industry's most fearless and devoted actors when he began portraying super spy Ethan Craft in the blockbuster Mission: Impossible franchise, dazzling audiences with his gravity-defying stunts and commitment to his craft.

2000's Mission: Impossible II proved to be a major triumph for Cruise, as the electrifying sequel dominated the box office and its competition and became the highest-grossing movie of the year, raking in more than $546 million and further cementing Cruise's status as the cinema's biggest daredevil. Though Cruise would go on to star in a slew of hits like Collateral, War of the Worlds, and Top Gun: Maverick, the celebrated performer has been unable to achieve the same feat he...

The showrunner of FBI opens up about whether one recurring franchise character could make a comeback. When it returns in just a few weeks, the long-running CBS franchise will be undergoing a few major changes. The first is that the main cast will appear in fewer episodes, as part of budget-tightening. The second big shift is the exit of Katherine Renee Kane, who will be exiting the role of Tiffany Wallace early in the upcoming FBI season 7, which premieres Tuesday, October 15 at 8 Pm Et on CBS along with FBI: Most Wanted and FBI: International.

But in an update from TVLine, showrunner Mike Weiss talked about whether David Zayas will reprise his role as Antonio Vargas. Weiss praised Zayas, who was recently seen in The Bear season 3 opposite his wife Liza Coln-Zayas. The showrunner added that he couldn't say for sure whether Vargas would be back. However, he stressed that there...

FBI‘s Jubal Valentine (Jeremy Sisto) is heading to Budapest to join International‘s Fly Team for an episode that has been a long time coming: going after the drug cartel responsible for his girlfriend and former colleague Rina’s (Kathleen Munroe) murder. Check out TV Insider’s exclusive promo for the big episode above. Jubal has been working with the Fly Team and being a resource for them pretty often so far this season on FBI: International. And now, in the April 9 episode, “Remove the Compromise,” because of that close relationship he has with Scott Forrester (Luke Kleintank) and the others, Sisto says, “Jubal makes a decision to join them on a case that they’re working because it involves the drug cartel that was behind the murder of his girlfriend, Rina Trenholm, and behind a serious threat that his team was put in.” Jubal and his FBI team...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for FBI Season 4, Episode 9 “Unfinished Business.”] Drug lord Antonio Vargas (David Zayas) may be behind bars, but he proves just how dangerous he still is to the team in the FBI winter finale — and as a result, one agent is willing to maybe cross the line to keep those he loves safe. But first, it takes a while for the team to realize who’s behind the threat. Assistant Director in Charge Rina Trenholm (Kathleen Munroe) is shot as she and Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jubal Valentine (Jeremy Sisto) are leaving her brownstone. Witnesses heard the shot, but no one saw the shooter. With Rina being rushed into surgery, Special Agent in Charge Isobel Castille (Alana de la Garza) offers to have Jubal brought to the hospital, but he insists on working the case. And as they do, Rina is just the first agent to take a bullet. More Questions Than Answers Their...

As the nerve center of the Feds’ New York bureau, Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jubal Valentine has been largely office-bound. But on December 14’s intense year-end FBI episode, which will bleed into the drama’s January 4 return, Jubal becomes part of the action. He, his team, and their loved ones are targeted by Antonio Vargas (David Zayas), the vicious drug lord the unit put in prison. First on the cartel’s hit list: Rina Trenholm (Kathleen Munroe), Jubal’s boss and secret lover, who is shot and gravely wounded while standing beside him. “It’s a traumatic event for him,” says Sisto, hinting that Jubal’s sobriety may be threatened. “There’s a sinister grand plot that I’d never seen before, full of twists. Vargas is a very powerful man, no matter what cage he’s locked up in. Everyone’s in danger.” To lighten the mood, we...

The Performance | HBO’s teen drama is some great TV, an unflinching examination of the alienation of adolescence — but we usually don’t watch expecting to be lifted up, comforted or inspired. However, when Rue slid into that diner booth across from Ali in the pre-Season 2 Christmas special, Domingo changed up everything.

A brief explainer for those who didn’t watch: The episode,...

This holiday season, gift-giving videos made the rounds on social media with surprises, screams and gratitude but one video in particular went viral: a heartwarming exchange between a father and his son on Christmas.

Antonio Vargas decided to make this year’s gift for his son extra special after he lost his mother in July. What seemed like a regular teddy bear ended up being a gift like no other. Pressing the bear, the boy heard his late mom’s voice. When he heard his mom talking, he immediately burst into tears and tightly clutched the stuffed teddy, decked in Christmas clothing,...

The first project released under his new C/W production company with former agent Paula Wagner, Mission: Impossible was a bonafide hit for star Tom Cruise and Paramount Pictures when it opened at the start of the 1996 summer movie season. Based on the popular TV series created by Bruce Gellar and directed by Brian DePalma, the film was perhaps the actor's first straightforward action adventure after a string of successful dramas and comedies that made him a heartthrob. For many die-hard fans of the series, like myself, something was out of place. Cruise, DePalma and Wagner had put together a good spy thriller, but in no way was this Mission: Impossible. The fact that the star once stated on the red carpet, “This is not your dad's Mission: Impossible” didn't help matters. The premise of a team of spies with specific individual skills working together on an important mission was...
