We binge-watched this Reacher series.Terrific series and we look forward to Season 2.

Perfect Casting .. Mr Ritchson seems like a real intelligent insightful guy. Only saw him as Hawk in Titans .. He nailed the Reacher role.

Alan is the perfect Reacher. I really liked him as Aquaman in Smallville back in the day....I thought this guy's on screen presence was bigger than life...surprised he hasn't made a bigger splash so to speak in Hollywood before now....let's hope the Reacher series has a long run!

Finally someone who resembles Reacher the way the books describe him. A huge man and a great character. Loved all the books. Can't wait for the second season.

Having read the Reacher books you can appreciate the choice of Alan Ritchson as Reacher. He’s smart, a good actor, fits the demeanor of Reacher, and of course matches his size for the necessary intimidation when necessary. Could never watch the movie with CRUISE, maybe a good actor but at 5’7” could never see him as Reacher.

He did an amazing job, he nailed the essence of Reacher, really good job of showing him and his brother as teenagers to give some background of who Reacher is . Well done !!!!

Great interview. This very intelligent actor was given a chance to talk about the specifics of camera work and fight choreography that elevated the discussion. It’s easy to admire an actor who freely talks about his parents and his family and admits to reading all 24 of the Reacher books. Looking forward to season 2-and action isn’t even my “thing”.

Have to give credit to this crew for absolutely nailing the "feel" of Reacher from the books. I highly doubt anyone could have done a better job of getting the character so perfect. Looking forward to more seasons coming out.

I have all Lee Child's Reacher books, and I learned to treat Tom Cruise's films as enjoyable films that were nothing to do with Jack Reacher. But when I first saw Alan Richson, I immediately saw as the Reacher I had in my mind's eye when I read my first Reacher book, which I think was One Shot. Alan utterly nailed it. I would love to see them do Echo Burning next.

Alan is great in this interview, you can tell he's a very relatable down to earth person. I've never seen this kind of interaction in one of these interviews with the actor shows an interest in the interviewer. I've read the majority of the Reacher books and he is absolutely in line with the character in the series. On top of that the series is incredibly well done and nuanced, all the way down to the sound of the thunder on the title screen of each episode. Because that is what Reacher is, he is the storm, he's inexorable and relentless. When he says he's going to find everyone responsible and kill them, he isn't lying. He basically just told you the ending. That menace, like an 80s slasher film antagonist is all tied to the physical menace inherent in the character as written and while I enjoyed the Cruise movies it wasn't something he could bring to the screen.

Ritchson seems the perfect choice for Reacher. It's that combination of very likeable and yet terrifying that not many people could pull off i think. You love him and you pray you'll always be on the same side as him. That's Reacher.

The dude is at least 9" taller than Tom Cruise, and his physicality is soooooo much more plausible. This is the dude Lee Child had envisioned in his character and he has said in many interviews that Tom couldn't carry it. It was about why Reacher is the way he is. He always felt he was tough enough to take what the world threw at him and being really big for his age, and then almost 8" taller than the average person once he was his full height, it changes your perspective. I was 6' at 12, 6'2" by 13 years of age, and I kept growing. Being the biggest person in the elementary school you attend, including the teachers, it changes how you view the world, the perspective is literally quite different. Being the biggest person in the room 99% of the time either makes you feel like you are the protector, or the bully. In my personal experience, most big people (5+" taller than average) tend to fall generally in those two camps, and most as the gentle-giant protector type. Reacher just cannot tolerate malicious deceit, injustice, bullying, abuse, or neglect. The more innocent or harmless the victim, the more compelled he feels to intercede. He has always felt the responsibility to speak out, to advocate, to seek justice, and was willing to take the risk personally. He has always felt compelled to intercede, to be the bigger person both figuratively and literally. His life-path started in the orbit of the military, direct action, telling the truth regardless of personal consequences, honor. Being constrained to play by the same rules the abusers use to hide behind is ultimately why he ended up becoming a "Hobo". Great character, great writing, great adaption, great actors, Amazing fit with the main character as Alan Ritchson absolutely nails it!

BIG fan of the Jack Reacher character and Lee Childs’ Reacher novels. So glad to have a good actor who meets the physical description playing the role. Hope there are many more of these Jack Reacher stories brought to the screen. Also, appreciate a series because more of the story is portrayed. 90 minute movies have to skip too much from the written story! Thanks to the creators for the great Reacher entertainment, both written and visual.

I watched the show recently and I thoroughly enjoyed it, really hope we get a lot more seasons of it. And Alan Ritchson seems such a wholesome guy

loved the show - Mr. Ritchson did an amazing job. He really embodied many of the elements of the character - including his smarts - it was awesome to see. The result of the collaboration was obvious - a great scene is contribution of the writers, producers, directors and talent - when it all comes together - you get great results. As a large actor myself (not quite his size - ONLY 6'2" but large frame- lot of theater and stage) - it is great to see a big guy that gets to be both big and smart. it was entertaining and very engaging - can't wait for another season.

I have been a big fan of Lee Child long before the original Reacher movies came out and have also read all the books. Y’all have nailed this and I too hope this continues.

Watched Alan’s version on Prime…loved it. He reminds me by appearance of a younger Sean Bean from his ‘Sharps’ days. Tom Cruise was also good as Reacher, but you can’t stop seeing him as Cruise the actor, whereas I wasn’t familiar with Ritchson so he cemented firmly in for me, as being Reacher. Hope this guys career sky rockets…he’s good and has a likeable screen charisma….Way to go AR 👍

Wow didn’t think this show was going to be as good as it is... I really love it! Great cast and writing... would highly recommend

GREAT WORK!!! He made Reacher belivable. Hope to see many more seasons!!!

I believed he was Jack Reacher in the first 6 mins. When he stares at the guy being aggressive towards his partner, that stare is authentic Jack Reacher and he nails it.

great pick for Reacher. amazon really did a good job with this. Alan did a really good job on this

So often, the hero from the page and in our head is a disappointment on the screen. However, the casting for this series was inspired. The intelligent directing and camera work, combined with faithful story telling and a perfect balance of gravitas and humour, makes this a stand-out production. I hope it is so successful, that it demands more of Lee Child’s books to be transformed in this way. This was an interesting interview which I very much enjoyed. Thank you.

Really like this guy. He seems so different than his character, which means he's a terrific actor. Seems like the kind of guy you'd like to sit down and have a beer with. The guy doing the interview was excellent.

An authentic Reacher! Awesome. I love that statement. That word. Authentic! If only more producers, writer, directors and actors shot for that instead of trying to rewrite a book, movie or game to meet their own personal agendas.

I discovered Jack Reacher well over a decade ago and I’ve read every book at least once. Alan doesn’t perfectly fit what I expected but he’s awfully close. One thing, and I realize this is nitpicking, but I had pictured Reacher as a really big man but in an athletic way. Alan looks more like a bodybuilder than a huge football or rugby player. I remember Arnold discussing his role as Conan the Barbarian when he said to prep for the role he had to hit the gym to change his body to look more athletic. This was completely lost on me back then but now I completely get it. It’s far from a deal breaker, more like just an observation.

Hello. I had the same view you have when I initially saw the character. But as I thought back to reading the Reacher series, I began to realize Reacher's upbringing and training are of a military-structured approach in his life (hence the somewhat stiff movements) combined with his analytical abilities. Remember, Reacher said in Lee Child's books "I can't run a 100 yard dash in 15 seconds, but I can make an impact." (paraphrasing). His athleticism is shown from incredible brutality and violence as required to meet his objectives. Perhaps I am rationalizing because I like this actor's portrayal so much. Anyway, great to see such a great show.

Great interview. Thank you. I have also read all of Lee Child’s books including his last one in collaboration with his brother, Andrew “Better off Dead”. The beauty of books is that the main characters are created, with the help of the author, in one’s imagination. I see Jack Reacher as a man of large stature (I describe him as being built like a brick outhouse), a very hard man with great fighting skills. The sort of guy you don’t want to mess with. I became quite excited when I heard that a film was being made of one of his books but at the same with some trepidation thinking that the character created would not match the person I had created in my imagination. I have to say that I was disappointed when Tom Cruise was cast as Jack Reacher (albeit a great actor). Please excuse the pun but he did not measure up to my imagination of how Reacher has been created. I totally understand why he was cast in the role in order to provide a “big box office name” and the end product was good but sadly did not match the character I had in my head. I am therefore very excited to see your interviewee actually appears to match how I see Jack Reacher. I wish him all the success in the role of Jack Reacher in, I hope, many more films.

He was so good in Smallville back in the day as Aquaman. I was wondering for years is he gonna get some big action role. And than boom-here it is. Reacher is amazing show. Alan is a great athlete, and hard worker. Love this dude

This guy is absolutely the right guy to play Reacher. He looks like I imagined Reacher to look. The story plays out on screen exactly as I imagined it when I read the books. Fantastic absolutely fantastic. The Cruise movies may as well be a different character all together. Nothing against Cruise, but he is / was definitely not Reacher. Great interview.

I’m new to Reacher, and I’m new to Alan Ritchson. Binged the series in 2 days, lol. Ritchson here is articulate, genuine and gracious in this interview. Count me a new fan. After watching him in the show, it’s hard to imagine Tom Cruise doing the same character.

Great interview guys. Alan your performance was very enjoyable as Reacher and the supporting cast were awesome too. I do hope we get A LOT more series to come.

I just watched the first 2 episodes, amazing. I absolutely loved the books and Alan IS Reacher. I was worried about the casting after Tom Cruise in the movies. Reacher's size is so important to the story and feel.

My vote is for the book Persuader when Reacher has to fight a 7ft 400lb bodybuilder and nearly loses. It’s so well written.

Man.... I totally enjoyed the series, actors were all on point, very cool action sequences, please give us a 2nd season.

What a smart interesting guy👍👍👍

I love when an actor is a genuine person in real life, Alan kills this role in the series. I hope it lasts long.

Never really seen him before, he seems so likable and humble. A regular nice guy that happens to be 6'3" 250 and good looking Wife, 14 year old son and I are enjoying so far. i enjoyed the 1st movie as well. i am not comparing them against each other because Alan and Cruise are so different Alan has the size, also thinking he isnt as "big" helps but Cruise is the vastly superior actor and gives off qualities that Alan cant. movie production VS TV production, 2 hr movie VS 8 1 hour shows

I love how genuine, humble and down to earth he seems!

Fantastic interview. The interviewer asked really good questions, and the response was inspired by the quality of those questions.

My Dad and Mom read all of the Reacher books and then watched the movie….Dad said Tom Cruise was definitely not a Jack Reacher! 😹. Wish Dad was alive now to see this series!

Great series and FINALLY an actor to fit the character. Binged season one and looking forward to season 2!

So I don't tend to watch shows that aren't sci fi or fantasy related but I decided to watch Reacher because of Alan Ritchson. I am so glad I did. It was so good and I hope we get another season.

Alan Ritchson hit the nail on the head. A lot of bag guys too. Great job. Love the show.

I loved every Lee Child book I have read. The Reacher character is wonderful, believable, crusty and dedicated to getting the job done.
