Alan Ritchson says Hollywood action space needs more everyday protagonists like Indiana Jones who was a professor not just military or ex-military heroes.
Alan Ritchson: One thing I'm trying to do is hark back to the '90s, when you would get protagonists like Indiana Jones, who was a professor and an archaeologist. This was not a government-trained CIA operative.
My production company has deals split across town, and we're working hand in hand with a lot of studios to develop the future action space. Weirdly across the board, everybody is making content where the main character is former military or current military.
I want to tell stories with protagonists who are more on their heels, less invincible, and less trained. It'll create a whole new sea of content where audiences can see themselves on screen.
We need stories where protagonists are everyday people like plumbers or electricians caught up in extraordinary circumstances, but not necessarily prepared for it.
Maria Sten: Totally agree. Excellent.
Sending prayers and love to all those laid off today by ESPN. So many of you have poured your life into that company, & I know how you’re feeling right now.
My hope is as this door closes another opens for you all. God bless!

Karoline Leavitt went to an expensive private high school, then worked in the White House immediately out of college, then married a billionaire her daddy's age. What kind of spoon is that?
