Alan Ritchson Discusses Challenges and Joy of Playing Reacher

Step into the universe of Lee Child's Jack Reacher; into a world fit for wanderers, drifters and undiscovered heroes. Often dubbed as socially awkward, stoic and cerebral, Reacher, etched alive on screen by Alan Ritchson, strays far from the conventional diagram of a charismatic protagonist - but it's the unorthodoxy, the ordinary extraordinariness, that makes his story inexplicably magnetic.

Reacher's existence is embodied in a solitary toothbrush - his single possession - symbolic of his desire for detachment and nomadism. Silent meanderings lead him to new faces and places, painting a rich, transient canvas for the anthology series, “Reacher.” With every knitted circumstance unraveling a thread of injustice, what catches Reacher's eye is the brewing storm of trouble - that which he doesn't want, but does not fail to step into time and again.
