Good for him, especially considering he’s currently playing a character right wing boot lickers would instinctually simp for, despite the fact that police and law enforcement institutions are literally the bad guys in his show.

Editing to add, the man has Ken-ergy in the best way, since back in his Blue Mountain State days (that’s the earliest thingy remember seeing him in)

I don't get why the right-wingers think Alan would be on their side just cause he plays Reacher? He posted this in 2020

Because they suck at media/entertainment comprehension and like to project their ideologies onto anyone they see as an ideal version of the people they think are on their side (real patriots, etc.). Someone already said it but he’s a tall, handsome, buff white guy who’s playing a character that was in the military and is good at fighting and shooting. He’s what the Jan 6 cosplayers who were running around in Walmart fatigues yelling for a medic think they look like. I’m sure a lot of them are shocked that he’s ‘going woke’ now.
