Alan Ritchson has addressed jokes about Jack Reacher not having a workout routine in Reacher, explaining how its origins are actually from the books. The story of Reacher season 3 will see Ritchson’s character back in another high-octane investigation, this time going undercover to rescue a DEA informant from a dangerous criminal organization. The actor maintains his massive physique, reflecting the characters’ description in Lee Child’s eponymous book series. His muscular stature has become a staple of his character, alongside the fact that he’s never shown working out during the TV show.
