I wonder if Jack Bauer was sitting by Jack Ryan?
Jack Ryan wouldn't need to kick Jack Bauer's ass. John Kelly/Clark would have already taken care of it.
Speaking of which, Worst Casting Call in the History of Books to Movies: That overacting gargoyle known as Willem DaFoe as John Clark. In the books, Clark/Kelly is described as physically imposing, but otherwise completely unassuming. Dark hair, brown eyes. Tough to pick out of a lineup.
When I lived in Greenwich Village, DaFoe lived in my neighborhood. Or, at least, he was a frequent customer at the same aquarium store as me in my neighborhood. Not only is he one of the oddest looking human beings I have ever crossed paths with in my life, he is also quite scrawny and under 5'10." Couldn't be a nicer person though. Just not cut out for the role of Clark/Kelly. But hats off to him for getting the job.
