Reacher’s ALAN RITCHSON: Finding Your Identity
Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum
The Physically Demanding Filming Experience
The speaker was required to work six days a week for a physically demanding filming experience, often working long hours and performing stunt fight training in parking lots between takes. The intense schedule led to sleep deprivation, injuries, and a significant physical toll on the speaker's body. To cope with the pain and injuries, the speaker was given powerful pain medications, which ultimately led to a severe decrease in testosterone levels, causing difficulties in breathing and severe physical strain. The filming experience was so physically demanding that the speaker expressed feeling as though they were suffocating and on the verge of passing out during certain scenes. This reveals the extreme physical and mental strain that actors endure in physically demanding filming situations.
