Reacher Star Alan Ritchson Still Feels Like He's Got Something To Prove
By JOE ROBERTS
The second season of "Reacher" is almost approaching, and it will have Alan Ritchson's Jack Reacher tackling a far more in-depth and personal narrative.
This more complex plot will allow Ritchson to display a wider range of acting. Which ought to succeed, since Ritchson feels he still needs to prove his worth.
Speaking to Black Film and TV, Ritchson explained how he “grew up without much,” which gave him a “scrappy, feisty, wiry side” and a “high drive and good work ethic.”
Knowing no one in Hollywood made Ritchson an ambitious and driven actor. He said, “There's no nepotism involved in my career. So, I feel like I've got something to prove.”
While his childhood as a military brat helped Ritchson play the itinerant Jack Reacher, it also contributed to his ambitions to become the best he could be.
Ritchson said to Da Man Magazine, “It's not good enough for me anymore to be just a working actor. I want to build a reputation for being the best in bringing a character to life.”
