can't get my code to run properly (beginner)

my task is to Write a script that asks the user a question with a fixed number of possible answers. Heres what I have so far:

print("who's your favorite actor: Tom Cruise, Nicholas Cage, or Jonah Hill?")
user_input = input()
user_input = user_input.lower()
while user_input != "tom cruise" or "nicholas cage" or "jonah hill":
    print("No seriously, who's your favorite actor?: Tom Cruise, Nicholas Cage, or Jonah Hill")
    user_input = input()
if user_input == "tom cruise" or "nicholas cage" or "jonah hill":
    print("...Thats your favorite actor...")

Everytime I run I get stuck in the while loop and keep getting asked "No seriously, who's your favorite actor?: Tom Cruise, Nicholas Cage, or Jonah Hill" I used the user_input.lower() because the input has to be case INsensitve. Any help would be VERY much appreciated!

You can't use Python syntax in that way. What you can do is test for membership in the set of the three actor names:

while user_input not in ["tom cruise", "nicholas cage", "jonah hill"]:

And then, for the equality test:

if user_input in ["tom cruise", "nicholas cage", "jonah hill"]:
