“My heart was beating so loud through my chest they could hear it” THE REALEST THING EVER IVE NEVER SEEN SOMEONE SO NERVOUS
The Reacher Engine
@@wanderinwolf3804I was about to make a one punch man reference, u beat me to it bröther
The King Engine
This dude is actually really down to earth from what I can tell. I heard him on Bill Maher podcast.
Ok so now I need him to be King from OnePunchMan, cause wth even is that?? 😂
PS: I'm happy he's working but I don't think he's a good fit for Reacher AT ALL
Let's be real, Alan Ritchson is an extremely good-looking guy, he killed it in BMS as Thad Castle, and Jack Reacher was simply just made for him because not only is he wildly jacked, but he also has a pretty violent past.
'Jacked' Reacher
He's jacked because when he got the part he had to bulk up. He's been pretty candid about his gains not being natural. Anyone could be similarly jacked if they spent the same money buying the same 'supplements'.
@@sithdowell3788 While I semi agree (genetics also plays a big role) he has pretty much always been a big dude I mean did you see him in Blue Mountain State?
Steroids can do a lot, but not everything. It can give you crazy muscles, a surreal six-eight pack with little training required, but it can't change a person's height or do all that much about a person's facial appearance.
The role was meant for him.
Violent how?
The way you’re referring them, just say they’re “roids”. Everybody else does.
I am extremely glad that Alan is Reacher ,Waiting for season 3
We can’t wait too! 😊❤️
which is apparently way sooner than you might expect!
Hes great, season 1 too, but S2 is just bad... I have no hopes for S3. Unfortunately.
Agreed 💯
Same! Everything about the reacher series is just amazing. From his acting to the military accuracy, just a top notch show all around loo
Physically Alan is pretty damn close to how Reacher was described in the books, so im pretty happy with him getting the role.
if tom cruise at 5'7 can be cast as reacher, i'm sure they can let alan slide 😄
@vinsanity40k well if you read the books, Alan Ritchson matches the description more accurately
@@vinsanity40k He's 5'6, slightly shorter if that wasn't bad enough. 😂
@@vinsanity40kGive or take 2 inches off is not a lot but 5'6 that's almost a foot off
@@mayuravirus6134😂😂😂
He was made for this role, absolutely sensational.
Totally agree! 💯
and Im totally fine with him being off by 2 inches. Im sure your one of a lot of us wanted close in height, didnt "have to" be exact height. and may had the issue with tom cruise cause of is 5 foot 5, not big, strong looking, etc.
So much better than Tom Cruise.
I couldn’t see reacher without Alan. He plays the part so damn well. I can’t wait for season 3 and 4
The BEST Reacher. He brings Lee Childs’ character to life. ❤
I had no idea that Alan was so personable. He can admit to being scared and anxious even though he looks exactly like Reacher from the books.
Il est trop mignon ❤❤❤❤
Isn't Alan a little prettier than book Reacher?
If I was him, I'd play the part all the time😂
Seems more like Thad than Reacher 😂
The dude actually looks like he has the strength of three men.
Funnily enough I was watching a Men's Health video yesterday of him and his routine. He's surprisingly honest about both diet and strength. He did say he mostly does arms and torso bc aesthetics for the role and even though he says he tries his best, he also admitted to doing what he can and not going gung ho on weight. He does put the work nonetheless. Very honest, very respectable.
Id be surprised if he had any less
I've never read the books.. But Reacher was described as being the size of a fridge with arms..😂😂
Dude is a tank
This man could totally tackle the “Round Meal! Feeds Three Men”
😂😂😂 omg. @@toby2k75
What sold me the most on Alan as reacher, was hearing him nerd about what books he was hoping to adapt in future seasons.
He was meant to be Reacher ❤
Amen!!!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌💯💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yes, he, was ayy ❤❤❤❤❤😂😂
What I love about him is if you watch Blue Mountain State first you wonder how he even got this role. But if you watch Reacher first you wonder how he ever played Thad Castle. That is a mark of a really good actor
This dude is such a great actor, funny in comedy movies and a straight badass in action shows, and a nice guy in real life to boot.
I love him as Reacher, he nailed it. He is the hype. Wishing for more success of the series
They wanted the exact specifications...
"He's 6'5", I'm 6'3"..."
Tom Cruise exits the chat...
😂😂😂
This dudes stride is longer than Tom’s height lmao
Tom cruise is boring compared to this dude in my opinion
I’m 6’ 3” as well
😂😂😂
This guy is just so darn likable! Built like a refrigerator and just a loveable goofball!❤
❤️❤️❤️
He really is
He’s the best reacher, I doubt anyone could do it better
Absolutely true! ❤️
Vin deisel😂😂😂
@@starkscream wha
@@stonelion8020 because no one is stronger than family 😂
@starkscream nahhh. Vin is bout dat family
I'm happy to see him finding success. Deserves to be a leading man
Tooo beeee faaaair. The man's heart has to be an absolute unit
❤️❤️❤️
Yeah roids do that apparently lol
@@Hugo_Goldenyou know he was big before the roids right? I mean he's clearly on roids now but he was big before them too haha
@@Hugo_Golden not all of them
@@bobert8125you know he was on gear during BMS as well right? Dude has always been in good shape, but he was for sure juicing during blue mountain state imo, we recognize our own. Thad Castle was an absolute unit, and him during Reacher makes Thad look small in comparison. And let me be clear I don't care, it doesn't diminish his hard work in the gym at all imo, he has great genetics also and he puts in the work in the gym. I don't know why people always bring up him juicing, he's an actor they all do it, why does it matter? But he also seems like a chill enough guy to be honest about it as well. I juiced for years myself, good for him though, I'm sure he is doing it with a doctor, so at least he is doing it as healthy as possible
He's great Reacher, looking forward to more seasons.
He got that King Engine 😂😂😂
So true love that reference
@@blaze6618 it was a reference to one punch man
@@sharronbrennon899he knows otherwise why would he say he loves the reference
@@Batt-man because there wasn’t a comma I read it as
So true love, that reference instead of So true, love that reference
@@sharronbrennon899 ohh ok I get it
After watching him play this role, I can't imagine anyone else doing it. Absolutely excellent! 👍👍👍
I'm so glad he got cast. He's literally the most perfect casting choice
Totally agree! He’s perfect for the role 😊
No one would have made a better Reacher than you! ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉
Too right! Can't wait for the next movie/series!! I binge read like 10 books 10 years ago and couldn't wait for the movie!
He is perfect!
He seems like a genuinely good guy. The kind who’s excited to get a part in a movie every time
You don't really get to see big actors be down to earth like that. A rather wholesome moment.
I never thought for a second that Thad would ever become Jack Reacher, but Alan Ritchson is a star and I know now, he can do anything. Can't wait to see him in the Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare
Thad really got his life together after school 😂
The student has become the blaster
@@Texmatt21"GET OUT OF MY HOOUUUUSSSSSEEEEE!"
I just started watchin BMS.
I started to die when i made it to S2 and i put it together makes BMS even better
From Thad Castle to Hawk to Reacher. This guy has amazing range and talent. Can’t wait to see what he does next!!
Looking forward too ❤️
lol nothing beats Thad Castle and his high pitched screams!!! ha ha ha
He would make a good Batman; maybe Supes as well.
Thad castle is from what movie
@@Tyler_Durden_562what movie pls
The producers / directors are the ones who got lucky, Alan. Man-crush 👊💪😉🤩. I hope you keep the episodes & seasons coming.
❤️❤️❤️
He's perfect for the part. Very underrated actor.
It wasn't luck dude, you ARE Reacher.
💯
He's the closest thing to "looks he could kill you .... But is a cinnamon roll"
So many of the most massive guys are. Travis Willingham is huge (6'2"), but he's all teddy bear. Get him in a scary place and he's a quivering baby even.
😅😂
"looks like could kill you, can actually kills you; but would choose not to, because is a cinnamon roll"
He is PERFECT for REACHER, love him😊❤😊❤😊❤
Perfect Reacher... in my humble opinion!
He should be a way bigger star. Hes an awesome actor. He can do comedy, drama and action. Hes underrated.
Absolutely, the man has extreme range.
Bro so humble, doesn't realise, HE WAS ALWAYS MEANT TO BE REACHER!
You know what? You act so natural..so confident and I know you will very far. Just remain to be as humble as I persive you to be.God bless you more.
There can not be another Reacher I'd stop watching 😊
Reacher is a great show and he does a great job.
So handsome!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Alan is Reacher. ❤
Alan Ritchson, you will always be Raphael no matter what other roles you play!
To be that nervous about getting the job, his heartbeat could be heard across the set, that’s genuine and should be all the reason they need to know 100% that they have their man
Can't imagine anyone else as Reacher. A brilliant choice ❤❤
He's an amazing Reacher
I love this man and The Reacher😍💖😍
Glad he got the role as a fan of the books, dude is PERFECT as Jack Reacher.
So looking forward to season 3
❤️❤️❤️
I completely agree with you as a fellow fan of the book series. He was perfect for Reacher.
Best ever...
Underated actor...
Gonna make millions mate...
New gen of actors
Alan talking in this clip just reminded me of when he played Thad. He had that sort of enthusiasm in his voice that a hardened military vet who violently kills his enemies doesn't have, like when he's playing Reacher. Even after watching 2 seasons of him as Reacher, it's crazy that the same guy used to play a college football himbo that stuck a tube in his urinal tract to pass a drug test.
Alan Ritchenson is superb..I enjoy watching every bit of Reacher🎉🎉🎉🎉
He does the perfect Reacher.
Awesome Reacher! Love him ❤️
Man! He is not only beautiful but also a little baby! 😂❤ How excited he becomes when he talks about his work - just like a child expresses his wonder at his first day at school. Love him! ❤
So true! ❤️❤️❤️
You were amazing...spot on
Reacher is such a great show, definitely waiting for season 3
Can’t wait for season 3 too! 😊
So glad you got the part! You are perfect for the part, the part is perfect for you!!!
Absolutely enjoy “Reacher”!
Totally agree! He’s the perfect Reacher. 😊
He's so handsome and down to earth ❤❤❤❤
Absolutely! ❤️
Yeah, I just wish he would be honest about his use of gear. He’s clearly enhanced, everyone that’s ever done it knows the signs, he’s not natural. It’s fine, it’s his body he can do what he wants with it, but lying about not taking gear and pretending he’s a natural lifter Isn’t very down to earth. Especially for a man who profess to be a Christian, lying is rather Unseamly. And I don’t know who he thinks he is fooling. I really don’t. I guess people who don’t know anything about steroids, hormones, etc. Because anyone who has any experience whatsoever with natural bodybuilding or enhanced bodybuilding knows he’s 100% enhanced.
@@enjoyer6201I doubt it’s his choice. Hollywood is very strict about that
@@enjoyer6201so you want him to confess to the world that he is on roids for the sake of the truth and right away get canceled criticized and possibly bye bye career ? 😂
I believe that he has said that he used gear this time around.
I'm so happy they picked him ❤ he's an amazing actor
That is awesome. He seems like a humble man
He is the best Reacher
Definitely the best! ❤️
Glad they saw your potential.
This cast has done a great job of bringing Reacher to the big screen. I am enjoying how you have established each season and not rushed them like other novels have done when going to a tv series.
He was born to play Reacher
Totally agree! ❤️
No he was born to play Thad from blue mountain state
I absolutely love him as Reacher but he'll always be the great Thad Castle
Agreed 💯
@@killerwipeoutstop, you’re confusing the children 😂
I adore this guy!!! He is cute! Amazing 😊❤
6'5" is ridiculously tall for a movie character. Usually in movies they like a pretty medium sized actor, that way he can appear tall and heroic, but then they can make villains who are taller and give us the David vs Goliath effect. We automatically root for the underdog.
I'm guessing you've not read the books then. Or seen a single one of a crap load of superhero (and normal action) films where the lead is well over 6ft. Reacher is supposed to be huge.
He's so real. Love it❤
❤️❤️❤️
Alan is such a sweetheart irl
totally agree! 😊
Loving the show, Reacher! Can't wait
I think the series got lucky... You are awesome man...
Alan is a great actor and even greater Reacher ! Man - happy he got it, the world is never the same again. More juicy roles for Alan please
He would also make a great Bruce Wayne / Batman
Thank God he did he does amazing work in that show can't wait for season 3 ♥️♥️♥️
I'm so glad u r Reacher.
❤️❤️❤️
Can't wait for this to come back! We loved it ❤❤❤
I'm happy they picked you. You ARE Reacher...frfr.❤
U were born for this role.❤❤❤❤
❤️❤️❤️
This man deserves the success I remember the first time I watched him in Smallville. Brilliant show when I was growing up.
The guy who played Lex can't remember his real name. Absolutely nailed that role.
Michael Rosenbaum. Yeah, Alan was great as AC 😁
Both great actors ❤️
The perfect man for this job . Love it .
Blue mountain state BMS BMS. Thad you made that show. I love reacher
❤️❤️❤️
He seems like such a nice person!
That's cool!
Glad you are bro....love it
❤️❤️❤️
Being an Allen. Im proud. Were rare
That's just Kings engine running irl
❤️❤️❤️
The fact the he started out as tad and is now reacher still blows my mind
king from one punch man intimidating kings engine
His voice going up an octave brought me back to his Blue Mountain State days
Alan has the King Engine
Thad starts coming out when he gets excited. I love it
I am so glad you did become him.
He's a great Reacher, and it's Not Unbelievable when he's breaking an arm or beating someone.. looking at you TC
God bless him 🙏🏽 he seems humble
Gotta love when a little bit of Thad comes out when he gets excited
I’m thrilled you are Reacher.
How about a third movie, it’s been over a year.
I love it that Alan is in many ways the opposite of self contained but ready to explode Reacher. Alan is a vibrant, excited, heart on his sleeve kind of guy. Great actor, too!
Exactly! Alan brings such a different energy in real life, but he completely transforms into Reacher on screen. 😊
He was made for this role, no one else can do it as good as him
Absolutely! 💯
He’s just so down to earth and a normal funny guy!
Alan is awesome ❤ can’t wait for another season. Can’t get enough of him
Couldn't imagine anyone else being our beloved Reacher, this man is BAAAAAAAAD**S ❤ I love him!!!
You are the perfect Reacher! Can't wait for the 3rd season!
Your lucky to be Reacher, and we're lucky too! 😊
Lucky for us! 💯
it is pretty cool seeing that he is still that excited about being Reacher!
