Lee Child, the British author of the bestselling books, says his readers were never entirely satisfied with Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher, not because of his acting but because his physique could never measure up to the gigantic man of the novels. Child stressed that he respects Cruise as an actor and thoroughly enjoyed his friendship and company throughout the making of both Reacher films. Moreover, since he had begun to foresee a move to episodic television for the Jack Reacher novels and Cruise was never interested in being part of such a series, Child hoped a relatively unknown actor would take the lead role.
