This might be one of the coolest stamps of approval you can get. Tom Cruise<\/a> stopped by\u00a0NCIS: Origins<\/a><\/em>\u2018 set on October 15, and the cast and crew couldn\u2019t have been more thrilled. After all, the CBS drama\u2019s bar is inspired by the one in Top Gun<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n Executive producer David J. North<\/a> shared the news himself on Instagram the following day with a series of photos and videos from the set of Cruise\u2019s visit. \u201cAs we kick off a new season of Origins, it was awesome to have @tomcruise stop by yesterday to hang out and show so much support to our show and the entire @ncisverse. @ginalucita and I took inspo from the bar in Top Gun when we dreamt up our bar, Daly\u2019s. So we were stoked he approved lol. Thanks for all the advice and the love, Tom,\u201d he wrote in the caption.<\/p>\n And so when TV Insider recently spoke with the\u00a0NCIS: Origins<\/em> showrunners, North and Gina Lucita Monreal<\/a>, we had to ask about that visit.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was really, really exciting for us and our crew,\u201d North told us. \u201cHe was just incredibly supportive of the show and the franchise and we got to spend quite a bit of time with him both on the sets and took him over to our set for dailies because Gina and I, as I told him, had patterned that bar after the bar in Top Gun<\/em> and he said, \u2018I\u2019m going, I want to see it.\u2019 So, we walked over there, and it was really great.\u201d<\/p>\n North also talked about the advice Cruise offered not just to him but also to the actors on the show, specifically Caleb Foote<\/a>, who plays Randy.<\/p>\n \u201cCaleb asked him about doing stunts, and Caleb said he stubs his fingers a lot when he does stunts and he wonders how Tom jumps out of planes,\u201d North shared. \u201cAnd Tom just said, \u2018I don\u2019t worry about breaking a nail.’\u201d<\/p>\n
