Just finished season 1 of Reacher and Ritchson nailed the role. He obviously looks the part, but I was impressed with his acting. He has all the qualities of Reacher and the supporting actor roles were very complementary. Waiting for season 2.

I am a serious Lee Child fan and was impressed with Stephen King, especially his humor.

One of the joys of turning Reacher into a streaming TV show instead of a movie is having space for the small asides like helping and later rescuing a dog. And they've got the right actor for the part at last, plus two dozen books to provide the material, so there will be more. There MUST be more.

I did not expect Mr. King to be so good at the interview process as the interviewer….. he really draws Mr. Child out with some very insightful questions, both these guys are funny as heck too.  I’ve always gotten the humor in their books nice to see it in person. Thanks for keeping this up.

Alan Ritchson is simply perfect casting . He is the epitome of a written character come to life that more than exceeds the persona Lee Child created.

Two great authors, I enjoyed the Jack Reacher movies and I'm a big Tom Cruise fan, but it was an odd choice. The Reacher show is great and the actor nails it.

Stephen King is so beautifully human. Listening to him in this interview, I get a sense of having a conversation with someone a few barstools over, or on a long bus stop wait. It just like regular everyday jawing. There is zero air of fame-headedness about him. Love this guy.

"You can't have everything. Where would you keep it?" - Stephen Wright adumbrating Jack Reacher's philosophy.

I just got super excited to hear for the first time about Stephen Colbert's NEW LATE SHOW!!! ...only to find out, of course, that this video was released 11 years ago. 😂😭

You can see how much Stephen respects Lee Child...love it.

I like people like Lee Child whose sense of humor is kind-of hard to bring out. You appreciate their jokes more and their laughter more.

I was in the audience, loved the talk, both extraordinary gentlemen. Fan for life.

What the hell does that feel like, to have an absolute living legend, as a fan?  I mean really, I can't think of anyone, in any art, that can top Stephen King's status.

What an absolute treat!  We are so lucky to be living in this time!

As a women I started reading Lee Child from the beginning and love the Jack Reacher character. I wait baited breath for a new book.

7 years late but my 2 favorite authors. About 10-12 years ago I was in a small town in Norway working. There was no cell service, no internet, and no TV in the hotel so I went to a tiny corner store that had one of those little metal turning racks full of paperback books. Only 3 of the books were in English. One was "Gone Tomorrow". I was never a "mystery" reader but it had a blurb on the back from my favorite author Stephen King. With my options limited I went with Steves recommendation. Well, that was it, I read through "Gone Tomorrow" twice and when I got home I picked up "Killing Floor" and never looked back. Have read every Reacher book and anxiously await the yearly release of Reachers next adventure. Thought the movies were just ok but love the new series and next season is my favorite Reacher book "Bad Luck and Trouble". Thanks for posting this!

Two legends and both fantastic writers.

Ritchson is perfect as Reacher. Tom Cruise's mini Reacher is a wool sweater washed in hot water then put into a dryer on high heat.

can you imagine Steven King talking about how good your books are?

Whoa this is a gold mine, that I just stumbled upon. LOVE it. I WOULD love to see this pair get together and chat again now with the REACHER series so big and amazing.
