Alan Ritchson returns as Jack Reacher in Season 3, now streaming on Prime Video. This adaptation of Lee Child’s “Persuader,” helmed by showrunner Nick Santora, sees Reacher embroiled in a dangerous mission to save an undercover DEA agent, while also grappling with the resurgence of a past adversary.
Meet the cast and discover who’s who in the lineup:
Alan Ritchson as Reacher
Ritchson stars as former U.S. Army military police major Jack Reacher. After leading an elite investigations unit during his military tenure, Reacher now roams the U.S. from city to city, usually traveling by bus and living off his monthly Army stipend with only the bare essentials.
In the books, the character of Jack Reacher is an imposing figure, and Ritchson looks the part. The 6′3″, 240-pound actor fully embodies the role, be it by body-slamming assassins or setting off a car’s airbags with nothing more than a well-placed kick.
Before landing the role of Reacher, Ritchson showed off his versatility with roles in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, the football comedy Blue Mountain State, the gritty superhero drama Titans, and the sci-fi grindhouse thriller Blood Drive.
Maria Sten as Frances Neagley
Sten plays Frances Neagley, one of the few characters who has appeared over all three seasons of Reacher. Her character had previously served in the Army with Reacher on his 110th Special Investigations Unit, and now is a brilliant tracker working as a private investigator. Neagley is a confidante of Reacher’s whom he will call when he needs help, and arguably knows him better than anyone.
Along with her role in Reacher, Sten has had a genre-friendly career, with roles in the horror series Channel Zero and the science-fiction series Swamp Thing.
Anthony Michael Hall as Zachary Beck
Like most seasons of Reacher, much of the cast in Season 3 includes fresh faces, including a new antagonist: Zachary Beck, a formidable and successful businessman, a single father to Richard, and the operator of rug import company Bizarre Bazaar, which plays a central role in the illegal operation Reacher is investigating in Season 3.
Hall starred in beloved 1980s comedies like The Breakfast Club and Weird Science, and has had a lengthy career, including roles in The Dead Zone, Halloween Kills, among dozens of other credits. Hall also appears in the Amazon Original series Bosch: Legacy, whose third season premieres March 27.
Johnny Berchtold as Richard Beck
Berchtold plays Zachary Beck’s son Richard, 20, an artistic college student. During his teenage years, he was the victim of a traumatic kidnapping that left him mutilated.
Olivier Richters as Paulie
There are few actors who can make Ritchson’s Reacher look small, but in Season 3, they’ve found someone more than capable of pulling it off. The 7′2″ Richters, known as “The Dutch Giant” in his bodybuilding days, has signed on for the role of Paulie, a bodyguard who served in the U.S. Army working for Zachary Beck.
Outside of his bodybuilding career, Richters has also popped up in action films including Black Widow and The King’s Man.
Sonya Cassidy as Susan Duffy
The new character Susan Duffy, played by Sonya Cassidy, is described as an extremely intelligent and tough DEA agent from Boston with a sharp and sarcastic sense of humor.
Cassidy is best known for roles in Lodge 49, The Man Who Fell to Earth, and Humans.
Roberto Montesinos as Guillermo Villanueva
Guillermo Villanueva, a new character played by Montesinos, is a DEA agent who is nearing retirement and crosses paths with Reacher’s investigation. Villanueva is also a mentor and father figure to Susan Duffy.
Montesinos has appeared in 9-1-1: Lone Star and We Bought a Zoo.
Brian Tee as Quinn
Veteran action star Brian Tee has signed on for the role of Quinn, another new character in Season 3. He’s described as a former lieutenant colonel who was investigated by Reacher a decade ago for selling national secrets.
Tee, who appeared on the Amazon Original series Expats, has had roles in The Wolverine, Jurassic World, and Chicago Med.
Daniel David Stewart as Steven Elliot
Rounding out the DEA team that will be working around Reacher, Stewart is taking on the role of agent Steven Eillot, a clean-cut rookie in the DEA.
Stewart is best recognized for roles in For All Mankind and Catch-22.
Season 3 of Reacher is streaming now, exclusively on Prime Video.
