‘The Acolyte’ Star Manny Jacinto Got All of His Lines Cut From ‘Top Gun: Maverick’: ‘It Wasn’t Shocking to Me … Tom Cruise Is Writing Stories for Tom Cruise’
'The Acolyte' star Manny Jacinto got his dialogue cut from "Top Gun: Maverick" and barely appeared in the Tom Cruise sequel, which wasn't a shock.
