ALAN RITCHSON DOES PHOTO SPREAD FOR 'DAMAN' MAGAZINE JANUARY 2014

Alan Ritchson bares it all for the January 2014 issue of 'Da Man' magazine.

Alan talks about staying in shape and getting roles.  In the photo spread Alan models clothing from designers such as Tommy Hilfiger, Marc Jacobs,  Burberry and others.  Here is what Alan shared:

On how he got the role of Gloss: “I initially auditioned for the role of Finnick. I felt a connection to this character. I understood him and I auditioned for this role for Deb Zane, who was the casting director of the movie. When I didn’t hear back from her, I did what I wouldn’t recommend other actors to do: I wrote her a letter. A couple of months later, I got a call from Deb, offering the role of Gloss. It was interesting to me how that came about.”

On staying in shape: “I’d be lying if I say genetics don’t play some part of that, but at the same time, I think people take for granted how hard it is to achieve any kind of success. I do work really hard, I work out five days a week and I’m very disciplined about my regimen. I focus on cardio; it’s the foundation of my workout. The best of me is poured into that and the rest of it goes into resistance training. If anyone wants to get ripped, I recommend sprint training.”  DAMAN
