Jul 7 2009Clooney May Have Once Mentioned Some Interest in Playing Jack Ryan!
Is George Clooney (the guy with the haircut on The ER) taking on the role of Jack Ryan--previously played by Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford, and Ben Affleck--in the next film featuring the Tom Clancy creation? He is if you read into quotes from unnamed sources! According to a story on The Daily Beast:
A source says he expressed interest in playing Jack Ryan when and if Paramount attempts to revive the Tom Clancy series.
I don't know. Can someone photoshop George Clooney into a suit so I can see how he might look in the part?

Michael Clayton... Bruce Wayne... Danny Ocean... Jack Ryan... yeah... I guess.
But Clooney will have to try have a little less charisma to play Jack Ryan.

Under no circumstances are we to see George Clooney's nipples or the franchise is doomed.

I really hope that he is able to convey Jack Ryan's smooth charm and casual suaveness

did i miss something? Did they decide that Harrison Ford isn't at the same level as Clooney? I mean Clooney isn't that much younger, this just doesn't make sense to me unless Harrison turned them down. I mean they pass on the better actor, who is associated with the roll already...can clooney play han solo in a star wars remake, too.
