Alan Ritchson notably played Gloss in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, but he initially auditioned for a different character, which would've referenced his previous superhero role. Alan Ritchson has found tremendous success in recent years, starring in the hit Prime Video series Reacher, playing a role in the recent box office juggernaut Fast X, and starring in the critically acclaimed film Ordinary Angels. He's come a long way since his minor role as the brutish antagonist in Catching Fire, and Ritchson has spoken about his original audition with Men's Health.
