Jason Antoon's film career started small but strong. His film debut was in the Tom Cruise sci-fi noir "Minority Report," where he was memorable, to say the least. Adapted from Philip K. Dick's novella, Cruise stars as John Anderton, a detective in the homicide Pre-crime division. With the ability to predict murders before they happen, "Minority Report" asks if you can change your fate as Anderton uncovers a conspiracy within the department. On his travels, he enlists the help of one bizarre hacker, Rufus Riley (Antoon). The actor remembered the experience fondly as he took to Instagram to share a look from behind the scenes.
"Here's a look at my very first film role as Rufus Riley in (2002)Steven Spielberg's #MinorityReport. Scene partner Tom Cruise was very cool and supportive," Antoon wrote. "In the movie no one got to really see the Mona Lisa pants I was wearing(I still have them). Costumes by Oscar winning Deborah Lynn Scott(Titanic, Avatar, Back to the Future and so many more amazing films). Good times!"
Antoon appears once to aid in the titular minority report. Certain that there is a chain of events where John doesn't commit murder, he asks Rufus to hack into PreCog Agatha's (Samantha Morton) mind to see her predictions. Though only briefly featured, Antoon is memorable as a cyber cafe worker. He caters to any and every fantasy, no matter how depraved. And with little to no morals about it.
