LOS ANGELES - The 13-year-old son of Tom Cruise is following in his father's footsteps.

Connor Cruise, the adopted son of Tom Cruise and ex-wife Nicole Kidman, has a minor, non-speaking part in the upcoming Will Smith drama "Seven Pounds,'' a spokesman for Columbia Pictures confirms.

Connor Cruise shot his part over two days more than a month ago, playing Smith as a young man and mostly shown in photographs.

The movie, which is still in production, co-stars Rosario Dawson and is directed by "The Pursuit of Happyness'' filmmaker Gabriele Muccino.

The drama follows the story of a man who affects the lives of seven strangers.

Cruise and Kidman also have an adopted daughter, 15-year-old Isabella.

Kidman is pregnant with her first child with her husband, singer Keith Urban.
