The Rock is a mediocre actor but a far bigger star than Cruise these days. He's been the highest or 2nd highest earning actor every year for the past five years.

Rock is a great entertainer, cut his teeth in WWE. Why are we comparing? Is that even objectively possible?

Personally, I like the diversity he brings in all aspects.

The Rock has good crossover appeal, from action movies to children's adventure-commedies. Together, action fans + family-friendly crowd, is a pretty massive potential audience.

I think Cruise has the former but doesn't really do any of the latter, so his total potential audience may not be as large.
