It may be a controversial hot take, but I think that Alec Baldwin came closest to capturing who Jack Ryan truly was, per Clancy's works.
not controversial at all, IMO. totally agree. i love Harrison Ford - one of my favorite actors of all time - but he did not fit the Jack Ryan of the book (although i still love the two Ford Clancy movies). young Alec Baldwin was definitely the closest to date.

Definitely agree.
Hate Ford in that role. Didn't fit at all.

quote:I’ve read every book in the series, and I disagree. In the novels, Jack’s father was a cop, and his mother was a nurse. Solid middle class background from Baltimore. Baldwin played the character much more efete than the character in the books, almost like an old Boston Brahmin. Baldwin’s Ryan would have been a Navy officer, not a Marine.
