Harden is a fantastic actor. Easily up there with Brendan Fraser, Jaden Smith, Hayden Christensen, and Chuck Norris.
If any of the comments are aimed at questioning Mr. Cruise's acting chops, I suggest watching his supporting role in Magnolia 18 years ago. He was nominated for best supporting actor, something well deserved. My personal opinion, though, is that while he would be an asset picking up chicks, he'd be a disaster as a backup point guard.
