I enjoy Tom Cruise movies and also was very entertained by his Jack Reacher films. Supposedly he is a very nice man in real life. Tom Cruise filmography - Wikipedia
Yes, Lee Child has a cameo eight minutes from the end, in the diner, saying “excuse me” or something as he makes his way around Reacher.

I enjoyed the Tom Cruise Reacher movies quite a bit, but lots of things were changed from the books for those movies, which I don’t like. Also, part of the essence of Reacher is his size, and Cruise couldn’t really pull that off. It’s part of everything Reacher does, and it is mentioned many times in the books. He’s physically intimidating, so he doesn’t have to get into fights as often. This new series gets it right.
