Ben Affleck took his shot as Tom Clancy's CIA analyst Jack Ryan and transformed before our very eyes.
The Jack Ryan franchise had big shoes to fill after Alec Baldwin and Harrison Ford successfully portrayed Tom Clancy’s fictional CIA analyst in The Hunt for Red October, Patriot Games, and Clear and Present Danger respectively. But in 2002, Ben Affleck gave it a go with the reboot The Sum of All Fears, focusing on a younger version of Ryan desperately trying to stop a nuclear bomb from going off on U.S. soil.
Liev Schreiber plays spy John Clark, a role he inherited from Willem Dafoe who previously played the character in Clear and Present Danger. Clark is the guy you call in when someone needs to get their hands dirty, and Schreiber crushes the part. His intimidating stature is backed up with a quiet but confident charm, and since Ryan is doing everything he can to avoid any kind of violence while tracking information with the spy , Schreiber gets to show off his action bona fides a bit.
