He is not yet the biggest box-office draw on the planet, but he has jumped Cruise and Tom Hanks in many directors&#8217; casting wish lists. &#8220;He gets offered everything&#151;or everything good&#151;first,&#8221; says an agent. (Crowe turned down the Hugh Grant part in About a Boy, the Laurence Fishburne part in The Matrix and <b>Viggo Mortensen&#8217;s role in The Lord of the Rings<\/b>, among others.) But where Hanks and Cruise insinuated their way into moviegoers&#8217; hearts by exuding amiability on-and offscreen, Crowe has pulled off a far more unlikely trick: he is one of the world&#8217;s biggest stars and is frequently perceived as one of the world&#8217;s biggest jerks.
