I love the books as a fun, easy, light read. Many of you guys are taking them way too seriously.

I'm a fan of Tom Cruise as an actor and I thought he acted well in the movies but the plot lines don't suit him and he is nothing like the character, Jack Reacher. Tom Cruises Jack Reacher was too clean cut.

I don't think you need someone who is an exact physical fit i.e. 6'5" and 250 pounds, but rather someone with the level of roughness, military and semi-homelessness air that he has.

For famous actors my vote goes for either Mel Gibson or Jason Satham.
I think they could both do the ageing, rough, ex-military drifter character that is Jack Reacher.

Ron Perlman would be good as well, a la his character in Sons of Anarchy.
Jon Bernthal from The Punisher Netflix series and the movie The Accountant, could also do it.

I concur with this. I liked many Reacher books, they are fiction so why all the hooplah with the other commentators?
