I completely agree. He was the first actor I thought of when I heard they were making a movie. He's very tall and in amazing shape. Plus I think he could really pull off the role. He's done a great job in all the roles I've seen him in and they aren't that similar to each other

agreed 100% why the hell they cast Cruise? This guys matches the temperament and physique.

Agree - he's a match to my mental image of what Jack Reacher should look like.

Cruise had the natural screen charisma that made the character more engaging. Nothing against Manganiello but there's a reason he isn't one of the biggest superstars of all time, whereas Cruise is. He may have had the physical presence but Cruise had the charm.

I think this guy has the charisma to carry a movie, but what he doesn't have at this point is name recognition. Tom Cruise like him or not is still one of the biggest movie star in the world.

Did anyone else utterly misread the title of this thread and think "I don't think that's appropriate for these boards"?
