I like Tom too and don't care if he is short either........BUT.....if you have read a character like Reacher for many, many years like me and many of his fans and his entire draw is this huge menacing drifter that can use his size to intimidate people and right wrongs for weaker folks while usually looking disheveled with nothing but a travel toothbrush to his name......when you see a very short and diminutive actor with perfectly coffered hair - you cry foul immediately.

It's like having Tom Hanks play The Black Panther. He's a great actor - but he is NOT The Black Panther.

I always thought a young Ray Stevenson would have made a decent Reacher.
Understandable. Never read the Reacher books so didn't know he was supposed to be a big guy with messy hair, lol. Sounds like a miscast in that particular case.
