In an article talking about cameos in film, The Hollywood Reporter revealed Tom Cruise's possible cameo in the Ben Stiller-directed comedy "Tropic Thunder":

"Another reason for the need to keep a star mini-turn hush hush is that it could spoil the surprise and ironic wit. If rumors pan out that Tom Cruise will appear as a despotic studio head in cameo king Ben Stiller's "Tropic Thunder," Hollywood insiders are likely to view it as an unexpected in-joke at the expense of the top execs at his former home studio, Paramount."
