Anyone who has read Jack Reacher’s novel Persuasive Recalls Paulie: the giant security guard of Mount Mountain who beats his head with a merchant several times throughout history. So there was a lot of interest for those who would play the colossal figure in one of the best first -rate video shows when they return for season 3.
This person should dominate above an Alan Ritchson already 6 ‘3 “in the main role of Director Season 3. Lee Child, the writer of the novels Jack Reacher and executive producer of the Director The series, said to me in an exclusive interview that it was not an easy task.
“Alan Ritchson is already quite large. How do you find a person who makes him look small? And it was literally International research for an actor who could make the lawyer small. »»
The result of this research was the Dutch bodybuilder Olivier Richters, which is a suitably imposing presence in the show. Almost a header header than the main star and with a permanent scowling air on his face, you would not be surprised if Reacher decided to appease Paulie to ensure the infiltration operation in the center of season three takes place in candy. Not the style of looking, says the child.
“I think it is very revealing of the personality of reachman. This guy is larger than Reachère; He is huge, he is scary. Will RECHODER recover? Absolutely not. He will help him as much as he can, simply because it is to whom is.
“I really appreciated this, especially because given the dynamics of a thriller like that. We know that these two will end up fighting at some point. And I guess that Reching knows in the first minute. He knows that he will have to make his way through this guy. So he softens it, I think, by destabilizing it with the taunts and the insults. »»
These clashes between the merchant and the Paulie, although held, also offer a little slight relief of anxiety. They have had countless entries in the episodes I have seen so far, with a particular demonstration of force in a safe struggle to lift a sly smile of all those who like to see a sufficient intimidator overturned a ankle.
The opportunity to have these smaller moments that establish and develop the characters is something that the child appreciates the adaptation of the future as a television series, as opposed to the film.
“This is one of the enormous advantages of streaming. You have time and space to do it. If you make a feature film, you are compressed up to about an hour and a half of content. And maybe we would have obtained a line in it, but with the operating time, we can continue as a current thing. »»
Which is based on another point of my conversation with the child, in which he discussed the possibility of redoing the stories of the Director Films in the television series. It is “absolutely” a possibility, but “not as an emergency question”. And with Director Season 4 already written and ready to shoot later this year, it may not be before season 5 or beyond the return of these stories.
For the moment, watch to try to stand in Paulie Director Season 3 will do well.
The first three episodes of Director Season 3 is now available on the premium video.
