Amazon Prime’s hit show Reacher is gearing up for season 3, based on the book Persuader. The show has cast Olivier Richter, known as “The Dutch Giant,” to play the role of a deranged bodybuilder bodyguard named Paulie. Richter is a bodybuilder and actor, standing at an impressive 7’2 and weighing 353 pounds. This casting choice promises to bring an epic fight scene to the screen, as Richter’s size dwarfs even the already large main character, played by Alan Ritchson. Richter is known for his roles in various movies such as Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, Black Widow, and The King’s Man, and is set to make a big splash in Reacher.
Richter’s journey to becoming an actor is an interesting one, documented in a nearly hour-long film that has gained almost a million views on Twitter. He reached his full height of 7’2 by the age of 19, after already being 6’6 at the age of 14. While he initially considered his height a curse due to the challenges it posed, Richter found solace in bodybuilding and gained 154 pounds over eight years by consuming 6,4000 calories a day split into eight meals. This dedication to his craft and his physique has made Richter a standout in the entertainment industry and a perfect fit for the role of Paulie in Reacher.
Fans of the show can expect an intense and action-packed season 3 with Richter’s portrayal of Paulie adding an exciting dynamic to the series. With Richter’s impressive physical presence and acting skills, the fight scenes in the upcoming season are sure to be on another level. While the exact release date for season 3 of Reacher is still unknown, the announcement of Richter’s casting has generated excitement and anticipation among viewers who are eager to see how he will bring the character of Paulie to life on screen.
Alan Ritchson, who plays the lead role of Reacher in the show, has shared insights into his diet and exercise routine, revealing that he consumes 4,000 calories a day. Despite eating whatever he wants, Ritchson focuses on healthier choices when on set, where he has someone preparing his meals. He also prioritizes intense workouts, acknowledging the importance of cardio and fight training in maintaining his physical condition for the demanding role. With a desire to play Reacher well into the future, Ritchson is committed to bringing the character to life for potentially 22 seasons, drawing from the vast source material available to the show.
As the cast of Reacher continues to come together for season 3, fans can expect more announcements and updates in the coming months.
