All the Reacher book nerds should be happy to see Thad taking up the role.
Well he's certainly a big improvement over Tom Cruise, who's about a foot too short and 100 lbs too light to be Reacher, who's described as 6'5" and 250 lbs. It was pretty funny to see Cruise playing Reacher while having 5'10" Rosemund Pike towering over him. The actor playing Reacher doesn't have to literally be 6'5", but he does have to be a big guy.
