Jack Reacher goes toe-to-toe with his most dangerous opponents yet in the new series, so here’s what to expect from the villains in Season 3 on Prime video.

Season 3 is based on Lee Child’s 2003 novel Persuader, though in adapting the book, the writers have made one major change, involving a beloved character.

The villains remain much the same however, with Jack coming into conflict with three extremely dangerous criminals in Reacher Season 3. Mild SPOILERS below.

Anthony Michael Hall (left of shot) as Zachary Beck.

Zachary Beck is a rich businessman with generational wealth, who trades in carpets, importing and exporting expensive rugs.

But his huge security detail (see Paulie below) and the fact that his son keeps getting kidnapped suggests that Beck is into something a good deal more criminal. Which Reacher discovers when he goes undercover to infiltrate Zach’s operation, which is connected to an enemy from Jack’s past (see Quinn even further down this page).

Beck is played by Anthony Michael Hall, who started out in the John Hughes teen movies, but has played darker characters in recent years, including a starring role in the TV adaptation of Stephen King’s The Dead Zone.

Oliver Richters (center) as Paulie.

Paulie is Zachary Beck’s bodyguard, and an actual giant, standing at 7 feet and 2 inches, making him a full foot taller than Jack Reacher.
