Summary
- Marc Blucas, known as Riley Finn from Buffy, joins Reacher.
- Blucas plays presidential candidate John Sampson in Season 4.
- Fans recall Blucas's controversial role in Buffy's love triangle.

The premiere of 'Reacher' Season 4 features presidential candidate John Sampson, portrayed by actor Marc Blucas. Sampson initially appears more straightforward and less corrupt than expected for a political figure in a thriller, surprising both the audience and Jack Reacher. As of the first three episodes, Sampson seems as unaware of the unfolding conspiracy as Reacher himself.
Blucas is recognizable to many viewers from his role as Riley Finn, Buffy's love interest in Seasons 4 and 5 of 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer.' His tenure on the show, following the intense Angel storyline, made him a less favored romantic option for fans. Blucas himself has acknowledged the strong fan reactions to his 'Buffy' character, noting that more fans express dislike than affection for Riley Finn.
