I love that Clancy story so much! He was my favorite author when I was young, really inspired me to want to do it myself. I was lucky enough to have a few interactions with him - both when I was young through a random friend of a friend, then again before he passed when I was trying to get the rights for a Clark pilot. He was such a nice dude. I asked him once why he doesn't write the scripts for his own adaptions. His response always cracks me up to this day. With no hesitation he says, "Because they don't pay enough." 😂😂

2025-06-02 05:05:26 +0000 UTCLoved your reactions! Senator Fred Thompson. Dalton is his middle name. Usually he’s credited by his last name. Before pursuing acting he was minority counsel to the Senate Watergate Committee, credited with supplying the crucial question, "What did the President know, and when did he know it?" Afterwards he became an actor, a Senator, then back to acting. As a writer, Greg, you will appreciate this. Tom Clancy was detained and interrogated by the FBI, under suspicion for espionage leaks because of the accuracy of technical details in his book. Fortunately, his notes proved out publicly available sources (albeit obscure) for every detail. Also, it was one of Ronald Reagan’s favorite books. Both of which got Clancy out of hot water. 😀

2025-06-01 17:59:28 +0000 UTCJust curious about the reason for a repost of the full-length reaction. Haven’t had a chance to watch it yet, though I’ve seen the movie many times. When I met Alec Baldwin, I told him how disappointed I was that he wasn’t Jack Ryan for the subsequent movies. He was great in the roll, and I thought it was a mistake on the part of the producers and studio to change. Alec seemed pretty moved when I said that.
