across dozens of novels, crime seems to happen wherever jack reacher goes. it’s a genre convention: baddies can’t just eschew crime whenever the gigantor is in town — even if it might make sense to take a few days off when the man is around, nearly blocking out the sun.
a similar fate appears to have befallen actor alan ritchson, who plays jack reacher on amazon’s imaginatively titled reacher and says he stopped a car robbery while visiting montreal.
if you’re in need of a frame of reference for ritchson’s scale and qualifications to play jack reacher, his measurables are basically the same as shea weber’s, who was chronically referred to as a “ man mountain ” in these pages.
ritchson told etalk that he was going out for dinner with his wife in montreal when they saw someone breaking into a car. (for the record, she was the first to clock that it was a robbery.)
“i was like instant reacher mode,” ritchson said. “some justice has to be done here.
“and i chased that dude four blocks until i tossed him into a building and the cops came.”
consider that your canadian spin-off of reacher. no multi-season order required.
