When Aaron Sorkin was casting "A Few Good Men" he sorely wanted Jack Nicholson to play Col. Jessep, the hard nosed CO at Gitmo. In their meeting, Nicholson asked who else had been cast. When Sorkin told him Tom Cruise had been cast as the other lead, Nicholson was sold. When asked why, Nicholson responded,
"I have wanted to play opposite Tom Cruise ever since seeing him in Cocktail. I love that scene in the cabana bar when the lady orders a martini with extra vermouth and Tom screams at her, 'VERMOUTH, YOU CAN'T HANDLE VERMOUTH!'"
Have a nice day.
