Alan Ritchson Beyond Reacher: 10 Movies to Stream While You Wait for the Neagley Spinoff

Alan Ritchson has become a household name thanks to Reacher, one of the biggest hits on Prime Video. Season 4 is still performing at the top of the charts, and the spinoff Neagley premieres September 16. But if you only know him as Jack Reacher, you’re missing a nearly twenty-year movie career that deserves a closer look.

He got his start in 2007’s Beowulf, moved through blockbusters like The Hunger Games: Catching Fire as Gloss, and played Raphael in the 2014 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. In recent years he’s popped up in Fast X and The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, where he showed off real comedic timing. Streaming action fans may already know him from Motor City and War Machine. Next up is his first wide theatrical lead in Runner, an action-comedy with Owen Wilson about transporting a liver to a sick little girl. And this Christmas he stars alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger in The Man With the Bag.

There’s something satisfying about watching a guy grind for two decades before the big break finally lands. Ritchson’s story is proof that steady work and patience still pay off, whether you’re in Hollywood or running a farm. Which of his movies have you already seen? Let us know in the comments.
