Just record a crop step as part of the action. Then click the dialog box in the list of action steps so that the action will stop for your input on each crop. I do this often. Keep in mind that your action will come up with a crop box already drawn the same way it was when you recorded your action. You then just change its dimensions as desired and hit enter. The action proceeds with the rest of its steps. If the images you are running the action on are of a variety of sizes and proportions, be sure to record the action with a very small crop rectangle that you can easily enlarge one each image later as needed. If you record with one that nearly fills the frame, then you won't be able to see its bounds if the next image is much smaller; or is vertical instead of horizontal.

I have PS Actions with STOP points so as to do something manually, say a CROP for instance.
It would be nice if I could record the selection of an appropriate tool, so that as soon as the action stops I am ready to go with the crop tool.
