But typing your question directly into my search engine (https://kagi.com/search?q=Who+is+ethan+hunt)
gave me:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethan_Hunt

Ethan Matthew Hunt is a fictional character and the protagonist of the Mission: Impossible film series. He is portrayed by Tom Cruise. The character of Ethan Hunt is a highly skilled field agent and operative for the Impossible Missions Force (IMF), a secret government agency that handles dangerous and high-stakes missions.

Personally, I don't give a shit about all of these made-for-tv/etc. stories and actors. Life is too full with real people and situations.
