There is no denying that Alan Ritchson has played a key role in shaping the “military action” landscape in the past few years. He’s the title tough guy in Reacher, a former U.S. Army Military Police major who leans on his service training and loyal military buddies to take down bad guys. In Guy Ritchie’s The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, he played Anders Lassen, the Danish war hero and only non-Commonwealth recipient of the Victoria Cross, key to the off-the-books Operation Postmaster raid on the Nazis’ U-boat resupply line.
