On Sundays I write about individuals who are worthy of our praise. These individuals are not restricted to us hoi polloi, but can also include those more famous individuals.
Earlier this month, “Reacher” star Alan Ritchson said during an interview that he actually imitated his show’s crime-fighting character, Jack Reacher, while on date with his wife when they saw a crook breaking into car.
According to Ritchson
“We were on a date in Montreal walking to a very nice dinner all dressed up, and we saw somebody breaking into a car. And, like, she put it together before I did,” Ritcher recalled noting that there was “glass everywhere” and a crook was “rooting through somebody’s stuff and came out with all these bags.”
He added that his wife said, “I think he’s breaking into that car.” Richter’s response? “By gosh, I think you’re right.”
“And she goes, ‘Don’t do it!’ And I was like, ‘Instant Reacher Mode,’ and I was like, ‘Some justice has to be done here.’ And I chased that dude like four blocks until I tossed him into a building and the cops came,” Richter added.
According to the Internet Movie Database, the hit Amazon series “Reacher” focuses on a retired Military Police officer who’s arrested for a murder he didn’t commit.
It nice to hear that movie stars are sometimes like real people, and do what is the right and the brave thing to do. Kudos to Alan Ritchson.
