I agree wholeheartedly. He and the rest of the cast were great in 13 Hours.

I'm in. I'm an avid Clancy fan...mostly the books, but I also enjoyed Red October and the two Harrison Ford movies. I felt like the screewriters kind of screwed up clear and present danger by leaving out a lot of the story, but Ford did a good job. Ben Affleck just sucked.

I think John Krasinski will do a good job. He was great in the office, and also did a fantastic job in 13 hours. Jack Ryan in the books is a character with a lot of depth, intelligence, and personality, but he's also a badass when necessary. I think Krasinski is ideally suited for the role...a good balance of personality and action. I just hope the writers give him the opportunity to do the character justice.
