Reacher season 3's casting challenges explained.

Summary While it is good that Reacher season 3 is adapting Lee Child's Persuader, the book choice creates some major casting challenges for the Amazon show. Reacher season 1 turned out to be way more successful on Prime Video than anticipated because it brought something new to the spy thriller genre. When most spy-centric shows focused on creating high-stakes dramas with massive scales, Reacher season 1 unfolded in a small town, focusing on a small-scale but gripping conspiracy.

Casting Persuader's Paulie Is A Massive Challenge For Reacher Season 3 Close Some intriguing casting choices for Reacher season 3 have already been made. For instance, it has been confirmed that the book's main villain, Quinn, will be portrayed by Brian Tee.

According to the original Lee Child novel, Paulie is not only taller than Reacher but also more muscle-bound than him. The book also hints that Paulie is nearly 7 feet tall, which is about half a foot more than the book's version of Jack Reacher. Since Alan Ritchson, who is close to 6'2'', is portraying the 6'5'' Jack Reacher, the show's Paulie does not have to be 7 feet tall.

Olivier Richters, a.k.a. "The Dutch Giant," who stands at a towering 7 feet 2 inches, could also convincingly portray Paulie in Reacher season 3. With films like Black Widow, The King's Man, and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny on his portfolio, Richters also has a few years of acting experience under his belt.
