A natural talent with creative versatility, Alan Ritchson continues to make an undeniable mark as he tastefully evolves his body of work while challenging himself as a writer, producer, and director.
He will next be seen as the title character in the Amazon Original series Reacher, based on the Lee Child international bestselling novels. Child’s Jack Reacher is a global phenomenon and billion-dollar brand published in 49 languages and 101 territories, with more than 100 million copies sold.

Ritchson just finished his multiyear run as the quick-tempered vigilante Hawk on the popular HBO Max drama Titans. The show is based on the DC Comics Teen Titans, which depicts a group of young heroes who join forces in their fight against evil. His role has garnered praise from critics and fans alike.
He recently made his feature directorial debut with the high-speed cyber-thriller from Lionsgate, Dark Web: Cicada 3301, in which he also wrote and starred. He previously wrote and directed the award-winning short film Tree House Time Machine, which he subsequently sold to Gunpowder & Sky. In addition, Ritchson produced and co-financed Amazon’s Seberg, which sold internationally at Cannes in 2018 and premiered at the Venice International Film Festival in 2019. His first foray into writing and producing led to the cultishly beloved Lionsgate feature, BMS: The Rise Of Thadland.
Past film credits include Gloss in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Raphael in Paramount’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and work alongside Robert Zemeckis as Beowulf.
Further to his immersive career, Ritchson passionately works alongside the Heart and Armor Foundation as a mental health advocate. Founded by John Mayer, the foundation aims to protect the health of veterans through groundbreaking research – performed by the University of California, San Francisco – to connect civilians to the experience of military service. As a son of two US Air Force veterans who does not shy away from his journey with mental health, Ritchson strives to serve as a bridge between these disparate communities.
He currently resides in Florida with his wife and three children.
