Alan Ritchson challenges the stereotype of Reacher as ‘Dad TV’, emphasizing its wide appeal, and discusses the physical role demands and expectations for season two.
Alan Ritchson, the face of the Reacher series, has recently shed light on the surprising demographic reach of the books and TV show. Contrary to popular belief, Ritchson emphasizes that the series is not just ‘Dad TV’, but rather a show that appeals to a wide audience, including women and families.
Demystifying the Demographic Appeal
Ritchson challenges the stereotype that the Reacher series is designed for a male audience. He argues that both genders find wish fulfillment in the character’s independence and freedom.
The show’s broad appeal, he believes, stems from the character’s simplicity and moral clarity. This is a refreshing contrast to the complexities and frustrations of real-world justice scenarios. The audience finds solace in Reacher’s straightforward approach to solving problems and delivering justice.
Reacher: Beyond Physical Size
There has been much discussion around Ritchson’s physical transformation for the role. However, the actor highlights that Reacher’s true essence lies not in his size, but in his intelligence and sardonic sense of humor.
These aspects, Ritchson believes, make the character both deep and entertaining. He debunks myths about his weight gain for the role and discusses the consequences of overtraining, including the need for surgery and testosterone therapy.
High Expectations for Season Two
As the team gears up for season two, Ritchson expresses the pressure of high expectations. Despite having fewer producers on set, the actor emphasizes the importance of staying true to the character’s simplicity.
He believes that the viewers’ connection with Reacher is based on this simplicity and that straying from it could jeopardize the show’s success.
