The star has been able to do a lot, and he\u2019s shared some of the things he\u2019s learned<\/a> with his other co-stars, including his longtime Mission: Impossible collaborator Ving Rhames.<\/p>\n Speaking with Fox News<\/a>, Rhames revealed one piece of advice he got from the actor, which he has always tried to follow. It\u2019s an obviously simple one, but certainly not something that everybody does. The advice was\u2026<\/p>\n Treat each person fairly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n It\u2019s a slightly more family-friendly way to follow a similar piece of advice that Keanu Reeves recently gave to up-and-coming actors<\/a>. The John Wick star suggested \u201cdon\u2019t be a\u2014-le\u201d as the advice he wanted to see others in Hollywood follow.<\/p>\n They\u2019re two different ways of saying the same thing. While Tom Cruise and Keanu Reeves may be movie stars, people who clearly have achieved a level of success that gives them authority over others on a movie set, it seems both make a concerted effort not to act as if they are above the rest of the cast and crew.<\/p>\n Rhames also has his own advice that has served him well through his years in the film industry, which involves putting a proper amount of distance between himself and the world of Hollywood. He said\u2026<\/p>\n [One big piece of advice is] to be in Hollywood, not of Hollywood. And that’s just from years of experience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n A fair number of stars over the last several years are actually not in Hollywood at all, as many celebs, from Mark Wahlberg to Ryan Reynolds to Matthew McConaughey, don\u2019t live in Southern California<\/a> anymore. While this might seem to move counter to Rhames perspective, the implication from many is that their decision to leave involved making sure they were not of Hollywood in exactly the way the actor describes. So they\u2019re really following the same advice, just in a different way.<\/p>\n Whether or not Ving Rhames will be in a position to get more great advice from Tom Cruise remains to be seen. As far as we know, the Mission: Impossible franchise is officially done<\/a>. If that is the case, Rhames admits he will miss making the movies with his co-star. Apparently those conversations about the industry will be what the actor misses the most. He continued\u2026<\/p>\n<\/span><\/div>\n
