Vampires (and Tom Cruise!)

The movie Interview with the Vampire happens to be on tv at the moment. I had already seen it a couple years ago but now that it's on again I'm thinking about it. Stephanie Meyer obviously took a bit of inspiration for her Twilight series from the book this movie was based on. Which makes me wonder, what if Tom Cruise had starred in the Twilight movies as Edward Cullen? Imagine that! It could have been interesting. He was interesting playing a vampire in this movie 22 years ago, which, when you think about it, is quite a bit of time. He was pale and had longish blonde hair in this movie. It took place back in the olden days (1800s?) so he wore outfits with billowy white shirts. Incidentally, the whole combination was kind of hot in a weird way. Brad Pitt was in this movie too, but I didn't find his appearance to be kind of hot in a weird way.
Also, I wonder what it would have been like if he ever guest starred in an episode of one of the Law and Order shows.
