Actress Michelle Monaghan is proud to be part of the "Mission: Impossible" franchise. The actress played Julia Meade, wife of Tom Cruise's super spy protagonist Ethan Hunt, in three films of the series -- "Mission: Impossible III", "Mission: Impossible -- Ghost Protocol" and "Mission: Impossible -- Ghost Protocol".

"That was such an extraordinary experience from beginning to end. One of my first days was the opening scene with Philip Seymour Hoffman (the late actor was antagonist in 'Mission: Impossible III') and Tom and it was as intense as it looked. Philip was such a tremendous actor and such a talent, we were fortunate to be graced with," she said in an interview with HeyUGuys, according to a report in femalefirst.co.uk.
