I took a week long screenwriting workshop once and we were told not to add details about physical characteristics of characters because if, for example, we wrote that a character had blue eyes, actors with brown eyes wouldn’t try out for the part.

Ask them to explain Tom Cruise in the role of Jack Reacher.

Didn’t say they wouldn’t be cast. Just that the actors wouldn’t be bright enough to try.

I’ve been binge reading the Reacher books. Tom Cruise isn’t close to Jack Reacher in any way shape or form. Badly miscast.
