Tom Cruise says he casts actors by finding their inner light first and then builds the script around it used that approach on Renee Zellweger for Jerry Maguire
“Tom Cruise: "I'm not just having a script and there's the character and let's find the actor that could play this character. I'm looking at the actor and going, 'Boy, look at the light that this actor has. Look at the ability that this actor has.' And I'm looking to take a light and shine it on that and then let it grow.”

“Well, what I did was is basically, yeah, I did. Because look, my friends, it's not just about the films I'm making.”
“And then I called back a week later and I was like, 'How's it going?' They said, 'Oh yeah, we're shooting our films.' I said, 'Cuz we're coming out next summer, you know. So we're on this date. I hope you're not on this date.'”

“I was calling like, 'We have to set up the rules. Let's make agreements so that we can get back to work.' And then I was calling governments and getting agreements with them. And then I was telling, sharing it with the other studios and my friends saying, 'This is how we're doing it.'”
“And just kind of saying, 'My crew is going to get paid during this time.' I just kept everybody working.”
