'My Head Is Always Pounding': Alan Ritchson Explains What The 'Reacher Hangover' Is To Fans Amidst Season 3 Filming
The first two seasons of the action drama "Reacher," available with an Amazon Prime Video subscription, did a lot of heavy lifting with regards to establishing the character and his world. Jack Reacher (played by Alan Ritchson) is an ex-military investigator now out of the service who wanders the Earth and gets embroiled in vicious predicaments where innocent folk are being abused by evildoers. And Reacher does everything in his significant power to help the underdog out. The initial "Reacher" season established our guy as a loner, and "Reacher" Season 2 dug into his ties to the Special Investigators, his elite military team. As we prepare for "Reacher" Season 3, we keep getting updates from Ritchson on the set, and in this latest one, we learn about the “Reacher hangover.”
It’s sad to hear that Alan Ritchson doesn’t enjoy night shoots while working on "Reacher," because some of the most memorable moments in the first two seasons take place at night, when Jack Reacher and his crew are taking down bad guys – like this unforgettable confrontation with "Reacher" Season 2 bad guy Robert Patrick.
