Maybe Steven Seagal or Vince Vaughan.
He was a strange choice but Lee Child went with it as Cruise showed Reacher as an unstoppable force in the movie. I wrote Tom Cruise a large number of e-mails about my victims/survivors of crimes access to practical information 224 613 project back in the early 2000s through 2003 or so. Not sure if he read any of them but the e-mail address seemed to be good for him for years and he never blocked any of my many messages. He has received a bum rap for his religious beliefs to a certain extent by talking about subjects he did not seem extremely well versed in at that time. Celebrities like Tom Crusie can and do bring attention to various problems but it is usually up to the experts, other media and the grass roots to do something about this problem whatever it is. There is way too much dependence on drugs in certain segments of this society. The Scientologists take it to an extreme though but seemingly to question the value of all mind chemical altering drugs. http://www.scientology.org/faq/scien...-medicine.html



I am just saying I am kind of biased about Tom Cruise given how many e-mails I sent him. Edge of Tomorrow is one of the best Sci-Fi movies I have seen in quite a while but it did poorly at the US Box Office. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/edge_of_tomorrow/
