If there was a Repairman Jack film, who would be the best actor to play Jack. - ED209 - 01-14-2018
If I read the descriptions of Jack properly in the books, he's a very unassuming man. Not particularly tall or large and doesn't really stand out in the crowd. He's not a bad looking guy, but not super handsome either. With that being said, I picture someone like Misha Collins possibly playing Jack. If you've seen him on the show Supernatural as Castiel, he can play warm charming and funny, but also flip a switch and play dark really well also.

Has to be Tom Cruise. If he can play Reacher, he can play anyone. Lee Child likes to take digs at people who do things he does not like. He had an ineffectual character named Baldacci in one recent book as his (Baldaccis) character of John Puller is a mediocre rip off and his most recent continually describes Reacher in terms that make Paul Bunyun seem puny. And while I am on the subject compare and contrast Deep Sleep by Gregg Iles with Sibs by fpw.

Alexander Skarsgard, Chris Pratt, Tom Hardy, or Michael Fassbender would be on my list

I've decided Sam Rockwell is my current top pick.

Strangely, stumbling across this iteration of this thread after many years away, I also immediately thought of Chris Pratt.

I like Chris Pratt in anything, lately. Star Lord, though tall, would make a good RJ. It would be better than the midget playing Reacher.

Pratt, I fear is too exposed. Still Sam Rockwell for me.

Rockwell is the man.
Am I now going to read all these books imagining Rockwell in the title role? Probably, but I'll try not to.

I thought he was pretty good in The Accountant.
