unruly thick hair

My hair is very thick, somewhat wavy, and a bit curly at the ends. Some say it reminds them of Frodo from LOTR but its not that curly. I would like to achieve a straighter longer look, for example Tom Cruise (MI-2) or seen on Johnny Depp in many films. How can get my hair more manigable without doing something drastic?
Thanx
More manageable hair

Steps to more mangeable hair
1) Condition when you wash, Don't buy a 2in1 shampoo, buy a separate conditioner and use it whenever you wash your hair.
2) Style your hair whilst wet and let it dry in-style.
3) Grow more length - the extra weight will pull it straighter.
4) Trim a little off the ends (1/2 inch) so they have a blunt finish this will make them less prone to curl up. (I know this kinda contradicts point (3) grow your hair for 4 months and then get the stray ends trimed you'll still have grown a LOT more than you cut.)
Hope that helps

My hair is very thick also. Hair has to be trained, you see. Try brushing it often until it looks like you want it to. It worked for me, but now mine gets poofy. Just try it.
