Connor Cruise Photos & Pics Archive

Connor's taking after his dad Tom, jumping into his second major movie role (his first was as a young Will Smith in Seven Pounds) in the remake of the 80s classic Red Dawn.

THR reports that Cruise will play Daryl, the son of the town's mayor who helps mount a resistance when the town is invaded by Chinese and Russian troops.

Connor will have to go through a few weeks of military training before the shoot starts next month in Detroit.

But military training should be a breeze compared to his Scientology training, right?

Connor looks positively elated to be at the Scientology Center, doesn't he?!

I'd love to see what's on that clipboard!

Course, what kid loves school (or church) all the time?

Tom and Katie and Suri! visited son Connor on the set of his upcoming film Seven Pounds yesterday.

The youngest thespian of the former Cruise-Kidman family was shooting in Hollywood, for his role as the young version of Will Smith's character Ben in the emotional drama.

Will plays an IRS agent depressed about his past, who sets out to make things right by helping strangers. Rosario Dawson also stars as Ben's love interest and Woody Harrelson plays a blind pianist who befriends Smith's character, Ben.

It's Connor Cruise's first turn at acting, though he's already booked a role in the Aaron Sorkin-scripted, Steven Spielberg-directed The Trial of the Chicago 7, now in pre-production. Not bad!
