Hi, I'm Ellen Richson and this is a Wired autocomplete interview.
0:05
My pec isn't large enough to the Dolce jacket.
0:11
Slippery.
0:14
Hey, hi.
0:14
Where did Alan Richson grow up?
0:17
That's a difficult question to answer because I was in the military so we moved around a lot.
0:23
I started in Illinois, was born in Grand Forks, North Dakota, but we didn't really live there.
0:21
I was there for like 2 months.
0:26
We went to Guam.
0:26
I was in Guam for 2 years, but who remembers that?
0:28
I remember feeding some kind of turtle on the beach once, but that was like probably a dream.
0:31
And then and then I spent from fifth grade on in Florida.
0:33
My dad retired there, so that's kind of where I grew up.
0:36
But I left there.
0:36
I started running away when I was 17.
0:37
Don't really claim Florida as home.
0:42
Moved back there, had a house on the beach, uh, for like the first 12 years of my kids's life 'cause my wife wanted to help with the kids, but I didn't really go back 'cause I was like, I'm out of here and I was in LA.
0:49
Um, so it's like mostly LA, so I don't really, you know, I claim Florida probably.
0:54
Why did they cast, what the f--?
1:03
Why did they cast Richson as Reacher?
1:03
Like millions of people are searching that question, like, 'The f-- is this guy Reacher? He sucks.'
1:03
That is, I don't know.
1:03
I asked myself the same question and so did the studio because they went back like multiple times like, 'I'm not sure this is the right guy, we want somebody bigger and stronger and faster.'
1:20
But uh, yeah, I don't know.
1:20
I ask myself the same thing and every day I fight for my job, you know, 'cause there's like an asterisk by this thing for me.
1:27
It wasn't an easy get.
1:27
It was an 8-month audition process.
1:27
Okay.
1:27
You think I felt wanted at the end of the 8-month process when they're like, 'Fine.'
1:27
And then I find out after the fact they promised the job to another dude and I was just like, I just happened to be like crushing the audition and they were like, 'I guess we have to like strongly consider this guy who was just supposed to be like somebody we threw in the mix.'
1:27
And I ended up winning the role, so I too ask myself the same question.
1:27
Thanks for that.
1:27
Why does Alan Richson, there's a long one, look so tall in Reacher?
1:27
I don't know, probably because I'm 6'3" and not the tiniest dude you've ever seen in your life and we cast people that are 5'5" uh, to play um, my friends on the show.
2:18
Do people think I'm cheating?
2:19
Do you think it's like camera cool camera work that I'm that I'm taller than everybody 'cause I'm taller than everybody in real life?
2:26
What do you want?
2:26
Alan Richson is a real long one, Arnold Ander?
2:26
That's my actual birth name.
2:26
Alan Rich Arnold Schwarzenegger, we're doing a movie together, man with a bag Christmas movie where Arnold Schwarz is playing Santa.
2:26
He's got to hire the kid from his naughty list to get his bag back 'cause he lost it and he needs somebody who thinks naughty to get it back, that's me.
2:26
That stupid board out of here with the questions.
2:26
Okay, Board number two, this is going to get me PTSD.
2:26
How did Alan Richson get his start?
2:26
God, I was a model and I'm not proud of that.
2:26
And when Abami calls you, you know, you show up and you start roping the calf.
3:04
I was a semi-finalist on American Idol.
3:05
I really liked my time in LA and I was like, I want to go back out there and be around these like artists that are super hungry.
3:12
I had a modeling buddy who I was like, 'Let's go play basketball.'
3:14
And he's like, 'I can't go, I got an audition.'
3:15
And I was like, 'Audition? Well, for how did you get an audition and what is that?'
3:20
And he was like, 'It's an audition for like a commercial or something or TV show.'
3:23
He goes, 'Talk to, talk to the booker at the agency at night if he, if, if you want to do auditions, he'll send you stuff from the breakdowns and and you can like try to book something.'
3:33
I was like, 'Great.'
3:33
So I told him, I was like, 'Get me some auditions, dude, I want to make some extra money.'
3:37
And the first three things I went out on, I booked Bay Wolf, Forcus.
3:52
So I'm on set with these like legends eating lobster every day thinking like, this is definitely for me, I want to do this.
3:52
Playing Bay Wolf, uh, in and uh, doing the motion capture for Bay Wolf and then uh, I was in a horror movie called The Butcher 'cause I died real good in that audition.
3:52
And then Smallville was my third thing and I, I played Aquaman on Smallville and really kick the out of that door, just open it right up for myself and uh, the rest was history.
3:59
And then thousands of fails, thousands until Reacher which was almost a fail too because they had somebody else in mind.
4:12
How did Alan Richson meet his wife?
4:13
We met in um, ballet in high school, uh, because we were both dual and rolling in a college Music Theater program and I had to take a certain amount of prerequisites that included ballet.
4:28
And I thought she was a college student so for the first semester up until almost the last day, I didn't talk to her until my buddy was like, 'She's actually younger than you, she's doing the same thing you're doing.'
4:39
So I had the guts to talk to her and we hit it off.
4:41
Why do people want to know about my wife, you know, like what is so special about my alaman exercise routine?
4:47
I kind of just do whatever I feel like doing for the day, like that's really going to lead a lot of people astray 'cause most people like, 'I feel like eating potato chips and not doing anything.'
4:54
I work out four or five days a week, it's mostly full body stuff, so I don't really go like, 'I'm going to blast my biceps until I can't lift a milkshake.'
4:54
You know, like I want to be able to lift the milkshake.
4:54
I just like do a little legs every day, little arms, little chest, little abs, little cardio and um, I and then I just work out till I almost pass out.
4:54
People like they try to go for like the Summer Body mentality where they're like, 'I really let myself go over the winter, it's time to get back in shape.'
4:54
If you just never get to the point where you're like, it's time to get back in shape, you just do a little bit every day, they're good.
4:54
Does Alan Richson know how to fight?
4:54
Oh hell yeah, somebody want to fight me?
4:54
You want to fight me?
4:54
No, that's no, he doesn't want to fight.
4:54
Yeah, I could fight.
4:54
I mean, the same way that people spend time like like pursuing a black belt or something like I spend the same amount of time training, but it's uh, mostly choreographed, you know.
5:45
I do a lot of training to get ready for a season or to get ready for a new character or something and then we get in and yeah, I love to fight.
5:50
I fought Tito Ortiz one time.
5:52
I did a, I played a UFC fighter and so I spent months training, I got myself ready, uh, to work work with Tito and Tito came in, he's a really good teacher and we trained, we trained together for a couple months and then we shot this movie together.
6:04
He was like, 'You for sure could have been a fighter if you wanted a, if you wanted a different career.'
6:09
UFC's for you and I felt real good about that.
6:11
I punched him in the forehead one time on accident.
6:15
Next board.
6:23
Okay, who was Alan Richson in Hunger Games?
6:20
I was a guy that slit that little old lady's throat.
6:25
Actually, I took an arrow to the face, so I played it like it was to the face and then I think they decided in post that was a little too gruesome to take an arrow to the face by Katniss so they changed it to my chest but I didn't shoot it that way.
6:38
I didn't shoot it like I was taking a shot to the chest, my head snapped back like an idiot and the thing went in my chest and I'm like, this, who does that?
6:47
I wouldn't have died like that.
6:50
Who does Alan Richson look like?
6:50
You know what people say I look like all the time?
6:52
John Cena.
6:56
People are like, 'Nordstrom would be like, John, oh my God, John, wait, you look, you're John.'
6:59
I don't think we look that much alike.
7:03
I know John.
7:08
I'm happy to be confused with John Cena 'cause hands down, the nicest human being I've ever met.
7:10
Disarmingly kind.
7:10
It's actually annoying.
7:14
I'm like, he genuinely, 'cause I'm like, 'You're not faking it, you're you're seriously the nicest person I've ever met.'
7:17
And it's um, and it makes me feel bad about myself 'cause I feel like a monster after I talk to him.
7:24
Who is Ellen Richson's stunt double?
7:24
Ryan Taran, one of the top stunt doubles in the world.
7:24
He's worked for guys like Hemsworth, boo, Mamoa, boo me.
7:24
Yay.
7:24
I stole him uh, from Mamoa on fast.
7:24
I did ask if I could um, if you would mind if I'd use him and then he never got him back.
7:24
He's been my stunt double for a very long time.
7:24
We were working on a movie together recently and he just got pretty injured, not good, demonstrating a stunt for me and uh, and so now I'm working with a guy named Luke Davis who is also amazingly talented and Ryan has moved to stunt coordinate.
7:54
Um, so now we design fights together.
8:01
Who is Alan Richson in Titans?
7:58
What the hell do people Google this stuff for?
8:01
Just watch the show.
8:02
Like if you want to know that bad, don't, shouldn't you just watch the show?
8:06
There he is in his tights, it's Hawk.
8:10
What episode of New Girl has out it in?
8:10
Oh my God, I got such a good story about this.
8:10
The episode is called 'Micro Penis.'
8:10
No acting involved.
8:10
Okay, so I was writing a movie at the time.
8:10
I ended up making that movie by the way, thank you very much.
8:24
It was midnight and I was falling asleep and I really wanted to like reach a certain point in my outline where I had like, you know, scripted this.
8:31
I went to this diner that's opened 24/7.
8:32
I parked in the parking lot and I'm walking through the diner at midnight so there's nobody there.
8:37
I was just going to go eat and write around people so I wouldn't fall asleep and a blacked out Audi pulls up in front of me and I was like, 'Oh God, I'm going to get mugged.'
8:45
But I can fight so I wasn't worried.
8:53
The window goes down and it's Jay Shanar from Super Troopers in the car, right, who I've worked with on Blue Mountain State.
8:55
Hey buddy.
8:56
And I was like, 'What are you doing?'
8:58
I was like, 'Dude, you can't just roll up on something in the parking lot at midnight like that, what are you doing?'
9:02
He's like, 'I was talking about you down in Fox today, uh, had a little conversation about you, I'm directing an episode of New Girl, I thought of you.'
9:08
I was like, 'Cool, uh, cool, what, what's the episode?'
9:12
He like, 'Well, you're a really cool dude, uh, everybody likes you and um, you know, you've got a micro penis.'
9:18
I was like, 'What?'
9:20
I'm sorry.
9:25
So you have this episode called 'Micro Penis' and you think of me?
9:25
I'm the guy that you think of, Jay?
9:29
And he's like, 'I thought you'd be great for it, do you want to do it?'
9:28
I was like, 'Yeah, I want to do it, Jay, yeah, I'll do the episode.'
9:33
And that was it, that my audition was in a Trader Joe's parking lot at midnight.
9:47
What does Alan Richson eat?
9:47
What doesn't he eat is a question.
9:47
Where's this cookie?
9:47
Look at this.
9:47
Wait, hold on, cookies the size of scones, baby.
9:47
Who are these, these guys?
9:47
We've been munching on these all day.
9:47
The problem is I eat whatever I want 'cause genetically I can handle it.
9:47
Now some people got those jeans, so you know how many 3,800?
9:47
You know how I know?
9:47
How do you know?
9:47
I got a DEXA scan, found out my maintenance calories are 3,800.
9:47
I want to gain weight, 4,000.
9:47
I want to cut, 3,600.
10:12
What new movie is Alan Richson in?
10:19
What new movie isn't Alan Richson in?
10:19
Got like nine coming out, dude, it's crazy.
10:19
More Machine for Netflix, I think, and you heard it here first, probably going to be the no, not probably going to be the biggest movie that Netflix has ever had.
10:30
This movie is going to be a monster.
10:30
This is the coolest thing they've ever made, guaranteed.
10:37
There's a comedy called Play Date which I love, Kevin James.
10:35
And then we got a movie called Motor City which is an action movie with no dialogue that is an absolute work of art, a '70s period piece.
10:42
It was on The Blacklist for like 15 years and every dude in town was attached, a very hard movie to get made and we finally got it made.
10:47
I'm really proud of that one.
10:48
We got Runner with Owen Wilson, action movie, um, with a ton of heart.
10:54
We got Painter coming up which is uh, one of the coolest action films written by Derek Colad who made John Wick.
10:54
It's like a new John Wick and we got Man with a Bag which is a Christmas movie, got to have some fun for the whole family.
10:54
What does Lee Child think of Alan Richson?
10:54
I, well I hope he holds me in such high esteem as high esteem as I do Lee Child because I have a great respect for that man.
11:08
I mean unless he's a really good actor or a great liar, I think he likes me.
11:17
I think he probably wants to be my best friend and I am hoping that he'll fulfill my request to adopt me and to put me in his will.
11:29
Oh God, I'm scared to see what's on the other side of this one.
11:36
Can Alan Richson really sing?
11:36
Uh, yeah, my first love was music.
11:39
I had like 38 scholarships to universities and conservatories for music and uh, that's what I started to go to school for and then I was like, 'What the hell am I doing getting a degree? What are you going to teach somebody how to sing? You going to teach me how to sing?'
11:51
If you, if you sing, you sing.
11:53
Like I'm not going to learn anything from you and I did like nine plays and I was like, 'What am I going to like get a a degree in like Music Theater and then go to Broadway and be like, 'Here's my bachelor's degree in Music Theater and that's going to get me something on Broadway?'
12:06
I don't even want to be on Broadway, they get paid like $11 and they live in shoe box apartments in New York and like barely eek by in life and they're they they're like the best entertainers in the world and this is how they're rewarded?
12:16
No, I'm going to, I'm going to quit school.
12:16
That's what I says to myself and then I became a model.
12:16
What a loser.
12:16
But it worked out 'cause you know that that uh, that was a little stepping stone to Reacher and which is exactly how I drew it up.
12:16
Is Alan Richson playing Batman?
12:16
This is, it's what's amazing to me about this this rumor of the Batman or the Batman desire and the Ze guys is the fact that James Gunn has personally announced publicly on his Twitter or X or whatever, he LOL he's not playing Batman, he is not playing Batman and this thing will not die.
12:16
I get asked every day if I'm playing B, yeah, would I play Batman?
12:16
Yes.
12:16
Would I pay handsomely to to be Batman?
12:16
You wouldn't even have to pay me to be Batman.
12:16
I would, yeah.
12:16
Da the suit, Gotham is mine.
12:16
Look at that, I could, I don't even have to practice, it just comes out naturally.
12:16
How, oh oh, sorry dude, I broke your board.
12:16
How perfect is that?
12:16
How strong is Alan Richson?
13:41
That strong.
13:44
I did it on ac, I didn't even mean to.
13:44
I just break stuff.
13:44
It's like, how funny is that?
13:44
I'm super strong, I don't have to prove it now.
13:44
Does that Richson have tattoos?
13:44
That's right, I think I have like, hey, how many do I have?
13:44
Where's Cat?
13:44
13, she knows.
13:44
She knows and with with great spite she she said the number 13 because she's the one that has to cover them for my roles.
13:43
It's one of my favorite things to do is to get a tattoo and come in the trailer bust open the door, she's like, 'Oh, he's looking salty today.'
13:56
Like I got a new tattoo, she goes, 'Oh God, I'm about to get 13 in the next 5 minutes 'cause I like now is the perfect time to be getting tattoos too by the way, 'cause I'm I'm playing this dude in a Christmas movie who's got sleeves down to here every day and I can't, I don't have time though every day I got shoot every day and then on my off days which is today right now, I have a day off because it's a national holiday, where am I?
13:56
I'm here talking to you about my tattoos when I should be getting more.
13:53
I'm a little weirded out, I got to be honest, that people ask these questions but I'm happy to set the record straight and give a little context to my life, you know.
