Jack Sheridan, played by Martin Henderson, is a bar owner and former Marine, and in response to an Instagram story posted by a “Virgin River” fan club on Reddit, one person noted, “I just wish they had cut Martin’s hair.” They weren’t alone. Another said, “In the books he’s suppose[d] to have a short military cut. He looks so unruly in this. It doesn’t fit the character at all.”

Annoyance with Jack’s hair isn’t confined to Reddit. On Twitter, one person said, “Still watching ‘Virgin River’ & good Lord, can someone please cut Jack’s hair?” But if Jack had short hair like in the books, it sounds like it could annoy some other fans. One fan tweeted, “Jack’s hair is a thing of beauty.” And another said Jack had “killer hair.”

In terms of how to balance what fans of the books would want to see in the show, Henderson talked about that in a conversation with “Virgin River” author Robyn Carr. He acknowledged that since the books have such a huge fanbase, there’s “a level of expectation that as an actor, one could be quite undone by.”
