Now there's a set of movies where the casting *never* fit my mental picture of the characters, though Sean Connery was a reasonable fit for the Russian sub captain. You're right about Harrison Ford, he was the best Jack Ryan. Neither Alec Baldwin or Ben Affleck seemed to match my idea. And the biggest mistake they made was in casting James Earl Jones for Admiral Greer. The face in my head was sort of like John Mahoney (the father in Frasier) or James Whitmore.
