really tall guy from Jack Reacher

That's Alan Ritchson. I think he can bench a dump truck.

Alan Richson is from Reacher. Jack Reacher is a movie that starred Tom Cruise (who was also in Minority Report)

Same character but different actors. Notably though, the joke is that Tom Cruise is pretty short.

Jack Reacher was a great movie, with really inspired combat scenes depicting the most realistic special forces/Jeet kun do type moves that I've ever seen in movies. Jack Reacher two was a pile of garbage, so I never bothered with the show. Is it any good?

The show is completely different, and very well done in my opinion. Alan Richson is a great actor. He’s also in Titans on HBO (or whatever it’s called). I heard a rumor he wants to play Batman.

The show is amazing! I highly recommend it.

I agree completely with the assessment of the movies too. The first one was a great mystery with a cool plot and action... and the second movie was hot garbage.

Well that's exciting to hear! I'll definitely check it out now. Thank you!

The show is really good, and no offense to Cruise, but Ritchson is a much scarier looking dude.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I liked that he didn't look scary, but was very dangerous. There are a lot of real people like that.

I thought Jim from The Office did the best job playing the character.

The sexiest man of 2024?

He's not allowed to do that anymore, after he broke the first three.
