“Blue Mountain State” is a sitcom broadcast by the Spike station in 2010-2011. He had 39 episodes and three seasons. He talks about the Football team of the title university and their student life. The production was kept in a climate of films from the “American Pie” series. Although during her first broadcast she met with a cool reception, she had a cult status over time.
Ritchson He appeared in all sections of Sitcom, as well as his film continuation of 2016. He played Kevin “Thada” by Devlin Castle, captain of the Football team, and his character can be compared to Steven Stifler with “American Pie”but raised to power.
Thad was a psychopathic child in the body of a huge athlete. He loved to party and torment over others. At the same time he had many complexes, and in the tense situations he spoke in an incredibly high voice. He often let himself and his friends into absurd situations that he did not distance. One of the heroes described him as: “a really good footballist and a really terrible person.”
When the series was canceled in 2011, Ritchson was ready to leave Thada behind. “We finally sold (rights to emissions) to Netflix, and these were the first steps of this platform. His popularity simply exploded. I was surprised that we were more and more popular every day, and we didn’t even shoot new material” – he recalled in an interview with the portal “Observer” in 2016.
Ritchson decided to close the story of Thad and his buddies. He purchased from Lionsgate, owners of the Spike station, the right to “Blue Mountain State”, and then founded a dump on Kickstarter to raise funds for a full -time film. At the same time, he wanted to focus more on student life and limit the threads of the older heroes of the series. “People expected more comedies such as ‘menagerie’. We were watched by students who wanted to go to our university,” he continued.
“Blue Mountain State: The Rise of Thadland” was released on February 2, 2016. It cost only $ 1.9 million and was destroyed by criticism. And Ritchson finally went on and today we all love him as Stoicki Reacher. It is hard to believe that he was a hysterical Thad until recently.
