Here’s How Tall Jack Reacher is in the Novels
After a long wait, Amazon finally dropped Season 1 of Reacher on Prime Video. And after watching Alan Ritchson’s version of the character, fans wonder what is Jack Reacher’s height in the novels.
Hardcore Jack Reacher fans know that the latest Amazon TV show is based on the Killing Floor novel by Lee child. The show stars Alan Ritchson, Willa Fitzgerald, Malcolm Goodwin, Bruce McGill, and Maria Sten in the leading roles.
Prior to Amazon’s adaptation of the novel series, we saw Tom Cruise portraying Jack Reacher on the big screen. The actor appeared in two movies playing the former U.S Army Policeman. However, when Amazon announced that it was adapting the books into a Tv series, fans were excited to see Alan Ritchson’s version of Reacher.

Jack Reacher Height in Novels
In Lee Child’s novel series, the exact height of Jack Reacher is 6ft, 5 inches. The character is described as “extremely tall, extremely broad, long-armed, and long-legged.”
Apparently, Reacher’s height was the prime reason why novel fans didn’t like Tom Cruise playing the character in the movies (Via: Metro.co.uk). In real life, the actor is 5ft, 7 inches. So, several fans who’ve read the novels didn’t think that Tom was the correct casting choice, despite the actor’s fantastic performance in the films.
On the other hand, Alan Ritchson is 6 ft, 2 inches tall in real life. And in the TV show, we can see that Ritchson’s version of Reacher terrified people because of his height and muscular build, just like how the character was described in the novels.
Finally a Jack Reacher that is approximately the correct proportions to the original book character.
Not knocking the Cruise but, you the same height as me and that ain’t 6’ 5”.
Looking forward to the series.
