Reacher's alanritchson discusses his connection to the character, possible approaches to Season 2, and why he'll never stop thinking about the fans.
Editor's note: The following contains some spoilers for Season 1 of Reacher.From showrunner Nick Santora and based on Lee Child’s first Jack Reacher novel Killing Floor, Season 1 of the Prime Video series Reacher follows veteran military police investigator Jack Reacher , a man as intimidating as he is tall.
Obviously, with the season following one book, you didn’t have to read 24 books. Why did the character become so important to you? You’ve been in this business a while, and you’ve played quite a few standout roles, so what was it that set this apart and made him so special for you, that you went above and beyond in a way that you didn’t necessarily have to?
RELATED: 'Reacher' Review: Alan Ritchson Leads a Brisk, Brutal TV Adaptation of Lee Child's 'Killing Floor' RITCHSON: Yeah, I think a lot of it was in the script. There’s an awareness that he has, that the world perceives large people in a certain way. A lot of that he uses to his advantage. I experience, in my own life, being not small. People assume that I’m either an asshole or brutishly dumb, and I would like to think that I’m not either. I think Reacher uses that to his advantage.
RITCHSON: I think you hit the nail on the head. Roscoe is somebody with this unwavering strength, and really, that comes from Willa. She is so powerful. She has this way about her, that she can really pierce the windows to your soul. I’ve never worked with somebody who can look through you the way that she does. She’s very powerful, and Roscoe is the beneficiary of that. I think Reacher relies on and enjoys the fact that his presence is so intimidating that it puts most people on their heels.
