Most recently, Rhames has been hosting the History Channel series “History’s Deadliest With Ving Rhames,” where he covers some of the most catastrophic natural disasters ever recorded.
When the series premiered in March, Rhames spoke about his memories of working with Tom Cruise. He said, “[My favorite memories] are talking to him off-stage. Learning secrets he knew about the industry that he was able to talk to me about.”
“[One big piece of advice is] to be in Hollywood, not of Hollywood,” he said in the interview. “And that’s just from years of experience.”
His upcoming films include “The Mongoose” with Liam Neeson and Marisa Tomei and “Painter” with Walton Goggins.
