Reacher Season 3 cast and characters
These are the major members of the Reacher Season 3 cast, with details of the characters they play, and their past credits.
This is based on the first three episodes, which drop on February 20, 2025, while’ll add to the list as-and-when new characters appear in the show. And we’ll go into the odd plot detail, so MILD SPOILERS ahead…
Alan Ritchson as Jack Reacher
Alan Ritchson plays Jack Reacher, the man mountain who was a military policeman, and now drifts from to town trying to stay out of trouble. But due to his size and stature – as well as his desire to do the right thing – trouble usually finds him.
Ritchson is 6’2″ with blond hair and big muscles, making him a good physical fit for the 6’5″ character. Especially when compared to Tom Cruise, who played Reacher in a pair of movies.
Alan Ritchson is best known for his turn as Aquaman in Smallville, while he also starred in Blue Mountain State, Titans, and Blood Drive. On the big screen, Ritchson has appeared in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Fast X, and most recently The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.
Anthony Michael Hall as Zachary Beck
Anthony Michael Hall plays Zachary Beck, the villain of Season 3, who has generational wealth, but also earns money importing and exporting rugs through his company, Bizarre Bazaar. But his huge security detail and the fact that his son keeps getting kidnapped suggests that Beck is up to something altogether shadier.
Anthony Michael Hall was a child star who found fame in the John Hughes movies Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, and Weird Science. He then became Saturday Night Live’s youngest cast member, while in 2002 he spent five years starring in a TV adaptation of Stephen King’s The Dead Zone.
Johnny Berchtold as Richard Beck
Johnny Berchtold plays Richard Beck, Zachary’s son, whose ear was cut off and mailed to his father when Richie was previously kidnapped. He finds himself in a similar situation at the start of Season 3.
Berchtold had a big 2023, appearing in comedy-drama Tiny Little Things on TV, and starring in the movies Dog Gone, Snow Falls, and The Passenger.
Oliver Richters as Paulie
Alan Ritchson is huge, making it tough for the producers to find co-stars who will give him a fair fight in the show. But they’ve succeeded with Oliver Richters, who plays Zachary Beck’s henchman Paulie.

Is Karla Dixon in Reacher Season 3
Karla Dixon served alongside Reacher in the in the 110th Special Investigations Unit, where sparks flew between the pair, but nothing physical happened. That all changed in Season 2 of Reacher, during which the pair hooked up.
