EXCUSE ME, ARE YOU HOOTIE? When Cameron Crowe wrote Jerry Maguire, it was with the intention that Tom Hanks star. Better movie?
For that matter, the other casting issue -- Crowe offered Janeane Garofalo the Dorothy Boyd role if she'd lose some weight. She lost the weight; he still gave the part to Renée Zellweger.
e.t.a. Okay, here's your challenge: name a Cruise role Hanks would have done better (or, at least, you'd have been interested in seeing), and vice versa. Hanks in Eyes Wide Shut and Cruise in Cast Away?
