Werner Herzog Made a Great Unhinged Villain in This Tom Cruise Action Movie

Although there are a great deal of actors who end up directing, there aren’t many filmmakers who find themselves giving performances as an additional component in their careers. Even if Martin Scorsese can do a hilarious cameo in The Studio and Quentin Tarantino makes the occasional appearance in one of his own films, they are directors first and foremost who wouldn’t be anyone’s first pick to take on a serious acting role. Werner Herzog is one of the most influential filmmakers of all time and happens to be a great actor, as he’s been giving interesting performances ever since his early German films of the 1970s. While no one expected that Herzog would pop up as the antagonist of a Tom Cruiseaction film, Jack Reachercertainly benefited from his appearance.
