Tom, famous for his roles in 'Mission: Impossible', 'Top Gun' and 'Minority Report', is even willing to turn his back on his all-action image so he and Katie can appear together on screen.
The source added: "This time, he's looking beyond the typical action roles. Katie is open to any project her fiancé puts forward but is desperate to lose the 'girl next door' image she gained from years starring as Joey in hit TV show 'Dawson's Creek'.
Earlier this month, Tom was dropped by Paramount studios after they grew tired of his controversial antics, which included speaking out about his Scientology beliefs and his now infamous couch-jumping incident on the Oprah Winfrey Show.

In other news, Katie Holmes has promised Tom Cruise another baby - after he marries her.
The actress - who gave birth to the couple's first daughter, Suri, in April - has reportedly promised to make her fiancé's dream of another baby come true as soon as he makes her his wife.

A source told the National Enquirer magazine: "She loves being a mum and can't wait to do it again. But first, she wants to be Tom's wife - so they've made a pact."

The couple's wedding, which was rumored to be taking place this autumn, is now reportedly being fast-tracked because the former 'Dawson's Creek' star is hoping to get pregnant again by the end of the year.
