Alan Ritchson’s Height Compared to Jack Reacher’s: Does He Measure Up?

Jack Reacher’s height has been a topic of discussion due to its importance in his identity. Let’s see if Alan Ritchson has Reacher’s size.

The monumental stature of Jack Reacher being essential to his incarnation, and it is difficult not to wonder how tall Alan Ritchson is and whether it corresponds well to that of the character imagined by Lee Child in Reacher.

From the opening scene, the series establishes that the Alan Ritchson version of Jack Reacher is an intimidating man. It is enough for him to cast a hostile glance at an enemy to send shivers down our spines. Without a doubt, the Prime Video series shows that his stature and military training allow him to stand up to several enemies.

From the first episode, Reacher highlights the hero’s physical prowess by showing how he single-handedly eliminates an entire group of men in prison who try to jump on him. Later, he easily beats three men at once without flinching. Jack’s size also becomes the source of many gags, notably when he comes to the table and appears to order an entire buffet for a “simple” meal.

With so much detail revolving around the main character’s height, it’s no surprise that many viewers are curious about Alan Ritchson’s real height.

He is (almost) up to par

As he declared last December in the podcast Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum, Alan Richtson is 1m92 tall. In his novels, Lee Child describes Jack Reacher as a former military police investigator who is 6’1″ tall. Which means that Alan Ritchson is six inches short of the Jack Reacher in the books.

A small difference in size which does not harm the series which relies heavily on the impressive physique of its actor. Fans of the books are also the first to salute the quality of the performer both in terms of playing and his appearance. We remember that the choice of Tom Cruise (and his 70 meter height) to play the character in the films was controversial.

In the Prime Video series, Alan Ritchson makes everyone agree.
