- Hanks is proposed as the morally gray Fraser character.
- Cruise as Dillon is preferred for cocky Magnolia-like energy, father issues and the rescue.
- Casting both is considered, with Hanks as Fraser, but challenged as outside the category.
- Cruise in Fichtner’s brief role is another proposal.
- Lions for Lambs is raised as an ensemble-role counterexample, with disagreement over whether Cruise or the film itself was the problem.
