At age 14, Cruise enrolled in a Franciscan seminary with thoughts of becoming a priest, but he left after a year. When he was 16, a teacher encouraged him to participate in the school&#8217;s production of the musical Guys and Dolls. He dropped out of high school<\/p>\n<p>and moved to New York, struggling through audition after audition before landing an appearance in 1981&#8217;s Endless Love, starring Brooke Shields.
