      Happened in 1991 but not uploaded until 2009. Mirrors the plot of Minority Report (2002). Like he could see the future.

        If I recall correctly he’d already committed plenty of white collar crime and by my guess assumed making a big show in front of the cameras would help him out, it really didn’t.

          I just watched an interview with him and a police officer on Australian news, and he said it was a case of mistaken identity or something. I didn’t fact check anything.

          Here’s a link to the interview, he seems a bit confused.

      “are you waiting to receive my limp penis?”

      Since seeing this video clip for the first time, I have spent my life since then awaiting the exact set of circumstances which will make this the line I need to deliver. Alas, it has not yet happened.

      really tall guy from Jack Reacher

      That’s Alan Ritchson. I think he can bench a dump truck.

        Alan Richson is from Reacher. Jack Reacher is a movie that starred Tom Cruise (who was also in Minority Report)

        Same character but different actors. Notably though, the joke is that Tom Cruise is pretty short.

          Jack Reacher was a great movie, with really inspired combat scenes depicting the most realistic special forces/Jeet kun do type moves that I’ve ever seen in movies. Jack Reacher two was a pile of garbage, so I never bothered with the show. Is it any good?

            The show is completely different, and very well done in my opinion. Alan Richson is a great actor. He’s also in Titans on HBO (or whatever it’s called). I heard a rumor he wants to play Batman.

            The show is amazing! I highly recommend it.

            I agree completely with the assessment of the movies too. The first one was a great mystery with a cool plot and action… and the second movie was hot garbage.

            The show is really good, and no offense to Cruise, but Ritchson is a much scarier looking dude.
