#13: Too Risky for Comedy
Tom Cruise is famous for performing dangerous stunts in action films, but he faced a strict corporate barrier on the set of Tropic Thunder (2008). Cruise made a memorable cameo appearance as the studio executive Les Grossman. Because the project was classified strictly as a comedy rather than an action film, the studio’s primary insurance policy could not justify the extreme financial risk of him performing any physical stunts. Executives banned him from doing any dangerous work.
