Baldwin was a woeful miscast in 'Red October'. Ford did a much better job with the 'Jack Ryan' character.

Yep, Harrison Ford was believable playing the part of a man. I could probably watch "Clear and Present Danger" every night on cable if I wanted to.

No kidding! That was one of several 'creative disagreements' Clancy had with the production team.

Sum of all Fears was RUINED by Hollywood.

Got to disagree with you on that one. I thought Baldwin was great in the role. That was before he morphed into the psycho pig he is now. I would rather watch a church burn than anything he is in (with the exception of Hunt For Red October and Team America: World Police).
