Ritchson's Struggle with Audition Process
In an interview with Wired, in which Ritchson was answering Google autocomplete questions, he explained why he was cast as Reacher. He said:
"I asked myself the same question and so did the studio. Because they said many times, 'We're not sure this is the right person. We need someone bigger, stronger and faster.'"
He further said that even after the eight-month audition process, it was not clear that he would get the role. Even when he thought he had been selected, the producers said that they had promised the role to someone else. But Ritchson's hard work and talent eventually got him this big achievement.
