EXCLUSIVE: Range Media Partners has signed Alan Ritchson, who became a household name playing Jack Reacher in the eponymous action series. Led by co-founder Rich Cook, Range beat out a number of other companies to sign Ritchson after he recently left his longtime manager.

To add fuel to Alan Ritchson’s fire, the synopsis for Gone Tomorrow, which is the book Season 4 is based on, is epic. In the novel, Reacher races through New York City as a bunch of people who are lying to him try and get him killed.

Recalling a final screen-test, he said he "made no mistakes," however at the end, Don Granger, a producer for Skydance, said there was something "distracting" going on in the background, like the sound of drums.

Alan Ritchson is reluctant to front a Reacher movie and feels TV is the best format for it, but a big screen adaptation would still be a wise move.

Reacher's Alan Ritchson currently reigns as Prime Video's greatest action hero, but the streamer's newest hero could dethrone the nomadic protagonist.

Long before Alan Ritchson was gracing TV screens as Jack Reacher, he was a fame hungry 20-year-old eager to break into the entertainment industry. The actor auditioned for American Idol on both seasons two and three and his showcase got one of the original judges hot under the collar.

Netflix's Reacher replacement seemingly had a major advantage over the Alan Ritchson series, but it seemingly made the mistake of losing its edge.
