: I think everyone here should do themselves a favor and read the novels that Ian Fleming wrote about James Bond. In my humble opinion the movies didn't do justice to the character- or the novels. Did you know that Ian Fleming was appalled at the selection of Sean Connery as 007? He wasn't what Ian had in mind. If you read the novels it will be apparent to you that the movies have little in common with the books, and that is a shame. Steve

It turns out that Tom Clancy wasn't too happy when Harrison Ford was chosen to take over the role of Jack Ryan in Patriot Games, the role Alec Baldwin in The Hunt For Red October two years earlier.

It was said that Tom Clancy has the greatest respect for Harrison Ford as an actor (and perhaps as a person)... he just thought that Ford was too old for the role.
