Alan Ritchson and Kevin James were spotted filming 'Playdate' in BC (PHOTOS)

Fans visited the film set.

Reacher star Alan Ritchson and The King of Queens, Kevin James, were spotted filming a movie together in British Columbia.

The two actors are currently filming Playdate on the West Coast and fans are sharing where they've met Ritchson and James.

According to Hollywood North Buzz, Playdate is about two stay-at-home dads who are on a playdate with their kids when things take a turn and they spend the rest of the day trying to "solve a conspiracy" and not get killed.

It looks like part of the film is being shot near the Cineplex Odeon in Maple Ridge.

"Both wonderful guys," @chefbk11 tweeted alongside photos with Ritchson and James.

That's not the only sighting of Ritchson.

Last week, another fan shared a photo with the actor and a story of how she bumped into him on set on the subreddit r/reacher.

In the post, the Redditor explained that she went to the film set to hopefully meet Ritchson. She said she waited while the actor filmed scenes, had some food and then she finally managed to catch his eye across the parking lot.

The Reddit poster explained once Ritchson saw her motion to him, he came over to chat.

"Big smile. He was so nice. I told him I was enjoying Reacher. He thanked me," she wrote.

"He was super nice to every one of them, taking time to listen to them, shaking hands and taking photos. He certainly wasn't in a hurry, but eventually his wrangler came over to get him because they needed him on set. He took one more photo and then left."

Another Reddit post shared a story of how James was spotted filming at Haney Place Mall in Maple Ridge.

Over the weekend, the actor and comedian was also seen at a Vancouver Canucks game.

Ritchson and James will be in Vancouver until about mid-April, which is when Playdate is scheduled to wrap up production.

Ritchson will then head back to Toronto to continue filming Season 3 of the Amazon Prime series Reacher.
