Recently rewatched "The Hunt For Red October" and even though his role was small, he made a huge impact on that film... as well as anything else he's been in. Sad to hear. He'll be missed.

He also returns in the Harrison ford Jack Ryan movies as Admiral Greer. Certainly a good watch as well.

I guess I never thought about this but are the alec baldwin and harrison ford Jack Ryans the same person? Ben Affleck was assume is a reboot, but now I don't really know.

Yeah, the first three are supposed to be one series. Sum of All Fears was a reboot, as was Shadow Recruit.

I don't know myself and I see it more like a continuation.

Just rewatched it yesterday. He really was great in that.

He is such a great actor. Makes me sort of sad all headlines are calling him “the voice of Vader”.
