EXCLUSIVE: Range Media Partners has signed Alan Ritchson, who became a household name playing Jack Reacher in the eponymous action series. Led by co-founder Rich Cook, Range beat out a number of other companies to sign Ritchson after he recently left his longtime manager.

Recalling a final screen-test, he said he "made no mistakes," however at the end, Don Granger, a producer for Skydance, said there was something "distracting" going on in the background, like the sound of drums.

Alan Ritchson is reluctant to front a Reacher movie and feels TV is the best format for it, but a big screen adaptation would still be a wise move.

Reacher's Alan Ritchson currently reigns as Prime Video's greatest action hero, but the streamer's newest hero could dethrone the nomadic protagonist.
