By now, any Jack Reacher fan knows how Prime Video’s Reacher series came to be. When movies starring Tom Cruise fell out of fashion, fans wanted more physically imposing protagonists, and they got it with Reacher, starring Alan Ritchson. Prime Video’s sizzling series topped the Nielsen streaming charts in 2022.
An important part of the character Jack Reacher is his size. The former military policeman, who is said to be 6-foot-5, weigh between 220 and 250 pounds, and have a chest measurement of 50 inches, is a large man whose imposing presence belies a heart of gold and a keen sense of justice. . So when Alan Ritchson, who weighed 205 pounds, came to audition for the Jack Reacher streaming series, he was almost at that level in terms of physical proportions, but not quite. As a result, Amazon was initially unsure whether to cast the Titans actor.
It may seem so…
