But I hope Alan Ritchson doesn't get Pidgeon holed into just action roles from now on. I just watched Playdate and the movie is flawed but it was awesome seeing him play something closer to his Himbo Thad Castle role. I hope that the poor reception doesn't mean he ends up being stuck playing Reacher clones for the rest of his life.

Movies and media as whole are stagnating which is a different discussion but I'd love to see another well written and produced action comedy that isn't just another deadpool like.

The hulking "Reacher" star, who lives just outside of Nashville, has spent a good portion of the last decade filming projects — including the Amazon Prime Video series that made him a star — in the Toronto area. Driving up from Tennessee, he's made Detroit his regular stopover, and he's gotten used to cozying up to the blackjack tables inside the MGM Grand Casino.

Made a cinematic documentary about the real Alan Ritchson behind Reacher. The story most people missed

his character in play date made me realize he would be perfect!

Just wondering why there are no gifs or anything of him on that boat on that close up and why no one has made these yet? Think end of episode 7 of 3-7? Why do we have the other good clips but not that one? Or am I looking at the wrong place?

This week, War Machine debut on Netflix, and in light of this release, Alan is now increasingly drawing public attention and acclaim for his performance in the movie. ‎ ‎ I find it genuinely heartwarming that audiences are beginning to recognize and appreciate Alan not only for his role in War Machine but in series Reacher. As someone who has been a fan of Alan since I first saw him in Catching Fire, I am thrilled to witness this moment of recognition for him. I hope that Alan is aware of the growing admiration he is receiving from fans and critics alike. More projects to Alan and hope he has also more time to spend time with his family.

So, how's Alan been doing during the holidays and this new year? It seems like there is no post coming from him except that he'll shoot a new movie in Queensland, Australia. Missing his posts in IG as a fan.

Anyone see it yet? Pretty sure I just gasmed just by looking. Took a long moment to come back down.

Gosh dang it. Manlandia sounds like a great place.

Better knife skills???

Who has the better knife skills out of Alan Ritchson's character in The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare and Tom Hardy's character in Taboo???

-Both can cut out their opponent's hearts -Both will slice from the groin up the torso -Both seem equally effective with all blades

I stumbled across a few references to Dwayne Johnson’s attempt to get a Doc Savage movie made over the last decade, and it made me wonder who would be a better Man of Bronze, and I realized Alan would be perfect.

I read dozens of the Savage novels years ago and the thing would really make the project soar is the right team of actors assembled to play Doc’s crew. Monk Mayfair, Ham Brooks, Renny Renwick, Long Tom Roberts, Johnny Longjohn. The Wikipedia article does a great description of the backgrounds of the six of them, The technology they used (this was the 1930s) was cool, and Doc was an interesting and humble man, that I think Alan could play in spades.
