Alan Ritchson Channeled His Reacher Character by Catching a Burglar (Extended) | The Tonight Show

[@Bduh2]

He's just THE perfect actor for that role. I got hooked on the first season and will follow all of his Jack Reacher shows.

[@LindaC616]

Yes!

[@vickywitton1008]

Have you read the books?

[@2731tanya]

Yeah agree. Like it’s the pic in my mind of book Reacher come to life. This is a great fit as an actor!

[@vrioutlaw5738]

My favorite show!

[@CatsBestFinds59]

Same.

[@hazardjsimpson]

Alan Ritchson is what the world needs right now. Wholesome, nice, authentic human being. Kudos to him, he deserves all the success.

[@clqudy4750]

Does it ruin it at all if I told u he's also a...Floridaman? Yep. Wholesome, Christian, family man, lives in Florida.

[@hazardjsimpson]

@@clqudy4750 Not at all because he's also a devout Christian and *not* a right-wing bigot. What's not to love about that? By all impression, he's a good dude with a good heart. Not even Florida can ruin that. ;)

​​@@hazardjsimpson you just gotta put politics in here do ya I bet you a Biden supporter ain't ya with rainbow flags grow up kid no side is better then the other

[@zombiiesque]

​@@hazardjsimpsonThis. My husband is a "Florida man", his family on both sides have been here for many generations. Just because someone is from Florida doesn't automatically mean they're an ignorant, judgy, fake Christian. There are many of that type, and Florida doesn't have the market cornered by any means, at all.

This guy needs to be reacher for at least 20 years , he is perfect

[@claudemartin7785]

He is in his 40s... Dont know if he can keep the body for that long, but lets hope cross fingers. Best show in a long time

[@NXT_LVL]

He was in the run for Cable before Brolin got the role.. still too tall to throw on the claws too. Reacher is an excellent place for his talents for a few years. but 20... Reacher isnt going to become an NCIS (thats a shell of its former self)

[@jason5409]

They should do 2 seasons a year.

20 years? the roids will have taken their toll in less than 10 years

He really is down to earth.

[@randyoneal677]

I met Alan a few years ago. We were staying in the same hotel and our paths crossed multiple times. Always took the time to chat. Very nice, very humble, down to earth guy.

Alan is perfection as Reacher.....and anything else he chooses to do! Phenom actor, talent, person! And God fearing makes him completely our favorite!!

[@lemonherb1]

That Old Montreal thief chase story is just too good to leave alone. I would suggest they adapt that into a cold open for a future Reacher episode

[@EthanHardy-b3j]

genius right here

[@johnmiceter]

To me it doesn't sound legit, but not sure he would make it up. The part where he is running beside the other guy and they are talking at a full sprint. This sounds very unrealistic to me. If you've ever run at your full speed, you can't do what he said.

[@Coyg04-69]

Best casting ever. What a fun and humble man.

[@wondahquinn6825]

Nice to hear he’s actively working on Season 3 👏. And I loved that story with the burglar.

[@MeMe-ng7lp]

I saw the car thief story on TikTok and I’m now half way through reacher season 1. He seems like a genuinely nice guy and very handsome to boot. I could listen to him tell stories all day. I hope we see a lot more of him.

[@vickywitton1008]

I LOVE Reacher and was so pleased when saw him, he is perfect as Reacher

We love Alan! He is such a great actor and a lovely human.

[@hockeyslapper]

Love to see just a genuinely good dude like Alan getting his due. Keep it up man

[@ML-xh6rd]

He was great in Ordinary Angels. You could tell he's a dad by the way he interacted with the young actresses who played his daughters. He's a big man with an equally big heart.

New favorite actor! From BMS to Reacher, and finally getting to see what Alan is like, solidifies my fan-boying about him. He's awesome.

As jimmy said, Alan is a good man, who happens to be a good actor, there is rumour that he might be the next batman after affleck

Haven’t been to a cinema in years but I’d definitely go see him as Batman.

If you listen/watch his interviews on "Inside of You" with Michael Rosenbaum, you can't help but be a fan of this guy. So open about his struggles, not afraid, despite his "manliness" exterior, to admit his emotional/mental health struggles. Makes me feel like it's easier to take about/more accepted. These kind of thing matters.

Reacher by Alan Ritchson was really awesome!!

[@rosemarymceathron4037]

I absolutely love the Reacher books. The series is amazing.

[@planetc]

My favorite interview shows him answering the question of how he met his wife by reporting they met in ballet class. The interviewer finds this hard to believe, and Mr. Ritchson jumps up, assumes second position, and maintains it for several steps. Not only did he study ballet, he can still do it, AND he is the perfect Jack Reacher. It is an artistic marriage made in heaven.
