Actor Robert Patrick, the mythical T-1000 from ‘Terminator 2′, talks about how imposing his co-star in the Prime Video series is.
The TV series ‘Reacher’, starring Alan Ritchson, is coming to the end of its second season after great success with critics and audiences, with its protagonist displaying a great screen presence, both in terms of charisma and physique.
And it is this last quality that seems to have caught the attention of his fellow actor, the veteran Robert Patrick, the mythical T-1000 of ‘Terminator 2′, who also works in the successful Prime Video series. The actor has compared Ritchson’s physique to that of such an icon as Arnold Schwarzenegger, asserting that Alan is bigger.
Alan Ritchson vs. Arnold Schwarzenegger
This is how actor Robert Patrick, who plays Shane Langston in ‘Reacher,’ spoke about his co-star in the TV thriller, comparing his physical presence to that of an old acquaintance of his, Arnold Schwarzenegger himself: “Alan’s bigger. Don’t tell Arnold I said that.
But right now, Alan in his present state and age, he’s bigger… Alan encompasses a lot of similarities in the size of his massiveness of muscle gain. And he moves very well. And Arnold moves very well. They’re both athletic guys,” said the veteran actor, who also recently starred in ‘Peacemaker’.
In addition, Robert Patrick draws similarities between the way Alan Ritchson moves in ‘Reacher’ and his performance as the T-1000 in ‘Terminator 2′: “Alan and I never talked about that. I mean, he’s certainly got a lot to deal with.
He never brought it up, but I mean, that’s the smart way to go. It’s what I did as a young actor when I started thinking about T2, creating the T-1000, and that all happened in an audition with James Cameron,” Patrick explains.
“I was left to think up, on my own, ‘Well, how do you demonstrate this if you can’t articulate it verbally? And how do you encompass this physically, to project what you’re trying to do with the character?’ So if he did, I was unaware of it.
He never mentioned it to me, but that’s what I took. And that’s something that James and I had thought about several times and had talked about and mentioned. Especially when I was, as the T-1000, riding the motorcycle through all that debris in slow motion. He was like a shark, swimming through the fog of the smoke.,” the actor concludes.
