It turns out that the great man Alan Richson is eminently seen as bad. Prime Video's "Reacher", in which the stars of the actor Shulking have become a big hit for a stream, not just in terms of their own platform numbers. "Reacher" topped Nielsen's streaming table when her first season debuted As early as 2022, and the third season held a place at the very top of the same top charts for weeks, confirming the TV adaptation of the popular series of Lee's books as the best version of the screen.

Richson's influence on this success cannot be overestimated. For fans, a big question with the two films "Tom Cruise" ("Jackack Reach" in 2012 and "Jackack Ricer: Never go back") was the Starwar itself. The 7-inch 5-meter frame of Cruz just wasn't a match for a man's bruser of the novels, and that's not an insignificant problem. A child described his hero of Digestion of the reader Like "a huge daunting brutal brutal", which, if it goes to a room, "the temperature just drops to some degree and people are a little worried." Cruise could not match that kind of energy, and the author himself even said so much once on BBC: "The idea is that when Reacher enters the room, you are all a little nervous about that first minute. And cruise, for his whole talent, did not have that physical life."

So when the 6-meter 3-inch, Ritson of 235 pounds gave the fans of the hustle and bustle, it was really a big part of the prime minister's success in the video series. As such, learning that Amazon initially didn't want to throw Richson In the title role is something surprising, as well as to learn that the role was originally promised to another actor.

It is not only that Alan Richson responds to the physical proportions of the Jackec start of novels. The actor also understands his work extremely seriously, to the point that Richson sent to the hospital just trying to reach the correct weight of Reacher. That is why it is something strange to imagine that Amazon is back and forth of the boy, and even a stranger thinking that the main role was originally promised to someone else.

Asked why he was thrown like Reacher in a video for WiredRichson revealed that Amazon was indecisive, describing their approach as: "I'm not sure this is the right man. We want someone bigger and stronger and faster." He added:

"Every day I fight for my job because there is a Tereveli after this thing for me. It wasn't easy, it was an eight -month audition process, well? I think I felt demanded at the end of the eight -month process when they were like," well ". And then I found out, they promised the work of another friend and I was just like it.

The Starweet "Reacher" stopped telling whom he managed to take the lead, but other famous names in the quarrels included Teddy Seres, Brandon Ruth and Brian Van Holt. There are no indications that, if any, these actors, in the beginning, were promised the role of Jackack Ricer, but it is not difficult to see why Richson was able to literally muscle it.

Alan Richson described his casting "Reacher" as the worst moment of his career Due to the success of the original series of Reacher books and the pressure he felt the assumption of such responsibility. He probably didn't help fans publicly register their harassment for Tom Cruise. A piece of 2012 in Los Angeles Times It was the right "fans are furious" and collected reactions to the cruise film that debuted that year, none of which were exactly tinted. As an angry fan said: "I can't believe they actually used an arrogant excessive short imbecil to create such a wonderful character. I will not see it literally destroyed the whole character for me.

Imagine taking a role that caused this kind of reaction among fans? It must have been incredibly frightening for Richson. As such, it is a testimony to the dedication and resilience of the man that he not only managed to persist over eight months of auditions, but actually convinced casting makers, he is the real man when the part was already promised.

If he did all this and "Reacher" proved to be another junk to send fans into melting, then we might have felt a little different for the man to take a role from someone else. But not only did Richson clearly knew he was the best man for the job, he also paid his taxi to that moment. After playing Aquaman at "Smallville", he was promised a spin-off series before being mixed for months by the WB, which eventually gave the role of someone else in any case. (The Aquaman show didn't even make him pass the pilot phase) The actors who exchange and knit around is, unfortunately, how he works in Hollywood, and with time Richson came to audition for "Reacher", he was well acquainted with how the game was played.
