Citizens hoping for a Gov., Rep. or Sen. Tom Cruise in the future are going to have a long wait.

The New York Daily News caught up with Cruise recently and asked the film star if he'd ever consider politics.

"I'm an actor, not a politician,” Cruise told the News. "Acting is what I’m good at, what I’ve been trained to do. I'd never do politics."

Cruise, 46, added that between acting and politics, he had the "better job."

Cruise's latest film, "Valkyrie," debuts on DVD later this month.
