      IIRC, the whole character and that producer storyline was Tom Cruise's idea. Ben Stiller was reluctant at first to add that to the movie, but then later he realized how great it would be.

    Ben Stiller came up with this movie idea when he acted on "Empire of the Sun." He said some of the cast went through a short boot camp before the rest of them arrived and talked like they were really soldiers. They took it so seriously he thought it would be fun to make a movie poking fun at that and the other members of the motion picture industry.
    Such a crazy comedy.

    I recall the gasps that rippled through the auditorium when the words 'Tom Cruise' popped up on the screen, so you were far from the only people fooled. My jaw was on the floor myself. None of the promotional material revealed he was even in the film, for good reason. Even today Cruise maintains his iconic image (with the help of hair colourant no doubt) so that if you change just a couple of things about him, he's invisible on screen.

    There's a few references to Vietnam War films. Ben Stiller's open armed gesture is a reference to Willem Dafoe in _Platoon_ and the confrontation between Tugg and Kirk at the end is framed exactly like the confrontation between Martin Sheen and Robert Duvall in _Apocalypse Now_
    One of my favorite bits of trivia is that the fake Vietnam vet Four Leaf is played by Nick Nolte, an actual Vietnam vet.

I was really surprised that one of you did not pick up on Tom Cruise's character.... this was about my 10th time watching Tropic Thunder since it was released so there were not many surprises for me but your reactions were the icing on the cake .
    My first time watching Tropic Thunder it took me about 29:min. in to realize that was Tom Cruise in the meeting with Matthew McConaughey . It did not cross my mind in the beginning but it was he eyes.... if it is someone I am familiar with or someone famous I notice their eyes first.

    You know why Robert Downey Jr.'s performance is so good.
    Because for once in his life he stopped being Tony Stark and really did his job like a professional actor. That's why his performance is one of the best in the movie. With a well-deserved Oscar nomination.
    Since his return to Hollywood and his first performance as Tony Stark in all his films he always acts as "Tony Stark". On the other hand, in TropiCThunder it makes you forget everything and really believe its interpretation. That's what a professional actor does. Make you, as a viewer, believe what the actor is trying to convey in the film.
