Lee Child Was Pleased Alan Ritchson was Cast in Role of Amazon Series Reacher

Having previously been played by Tom Cruise on screen, Jack Reacher’s return to screens in the Amazon Prime series Reacher has seen the role taken over by Alan Ritchson, and it is a change that has pleased the character’s creator, Lee Child. According to reports, Child was never quite satisfied with the big-screen iteration of Reacher, with Tom Cruise being very different in stature to the hulking, imposing figure Jack Reacher is described as in the novels.
