Prime VideoSUMMARY
Reacher star Alan Ritchson says that he too is a “lone wolf.”
Ritchson says he can relate to his Ordinary Angels character, a man facing loss.
Reacher season 3 is now filming, and will find Jack Reacher on an undercover mission.
In an exclusive interview with MovieWeb, Reacher star Alan Ritchson reveals that he too is a “lone wolf” much like the nomad avenger he plays in the hit Prime Video action series. Speaking with us about his new movie, Ordinary Angels, Ritchson, whose star has seen a rapid rise since playing Jack Reacher, revealed how he relates to the action hero and his latest character, struggling father Ed.
“Look, I’m a lone wolf. Like, I work with a psychiatrist, a therapist, and we meet every week or two. And the biggest theme in our conversations is her saying, ‘Your life would be much more fulfilling if you let other people in and had friends and did activities with other people.’ And I’m like, I don’t know, I don’t have the time. I can’t, there’s a million reasons why I can’t. And so, it’s a big mission in my life right now to find a way to expand my community.”
Based on a remarkable true story, Ordinary Angels centers on Sharon (Hilary Swank), a fierce but struggling hairdresser in small-town Kentucky who discovers a renewed sense of purpose when she meets Ed (Alan Ritchson), a widower working hard to make ends meet for his two daughters,” the official synopsis reads.
Continuing, Ritchson offered further insight into how he and his Ordinary Angels character are similar, and he cannot wait to tell this story of everyday miracle workers.
“So I totally get that about Ed. Ed was very much the same way, he’s a lone wolf and doesn’t have to ask for help. I can relate to that. But I also have three kids. I have three boys ages 11, nine, and eight. Similar ages with these girls in the film, and the thought of losing one, I mean, I couldn’t imagine.
So, it’s a privilege to tell this story. One that that definitely delves into the pain of loss like that and the confusion of faith and doubt. But at the end of the day, the real miracle is the way that Hilary Swank’s character, Sharon, was able to work miracles in the life of Ed and these girls. And that’s just this necessary story. I think we all need to be reminded that we have that kind of potential within us.”
Ordinary Angels is scheduled to be released by Lionsgate on February 23, 2024.
