Tom Ryan Biography & Facts
Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan (also known simply as Jack Ryan) is an American political action thriller streaming television series based on characters from the fictional "Ryanverse" created by Tom Clancy. Replacing the characters of the novels with those set in modern time, it depicts CIA analyst Jack Ryan who is played by John Krasinski. The series was created by Carlton Cuse and Graham Roland. Cuse and Krasinski serve as executive producers alongside, Michael Bay, and Mace Neufeld, among others. The series premiered on August 31, 2018 on Amazon Prime Video. Ahead of the third season, Amazon renewed the series for a fourth season and in May 2022, it was confirmed the series would end after its fourth season, which premiered on June 29, 2023 and concluded on July 14. A spin-off starring Michael Peña as Ding Chavez is in development. Premise The first season follows the titular CIA analyst as he is wrenched from the security of his desk job into the field after discovering a string of dubious bank transfers, which are being carried out by a rising Islamic extremist named Suleiman. The second season sees Jack in the middle of political warfare in a corrupt Venezuela. In the third season, Jack investigates a plot to re-create the former Soviet Union by detonating an untraceable tactical nuclear bomb in a country of former Eastern Bloc. In the fourth season, Jack, now the CIA's acting deputy director, will face his most dangerous mission yet, which involves a foe operating both in the United States and further afield. The trouble begins after he begins investigating rumours of internal corruption, during which he and his trusted associates uncover evidence of an alliance between a drug cartel and a terrorist organization. Cast and characters Main John Krasinski as Dr. Jack Ryan, a former U.S. Marine officer and Afghanistan veteran working as a financial analyst for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), specifically the Terror Finance and Arms Division (T-FAD) under the Counterterrorism Center (CTC); later promoted to head of T-FAD. In season 3, Jack is working in the field as a CIA operations officer. Krasinski's interpretation of the character is said to be inspired by Harrison Ford's portrayal in Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger. Director and executive producer Daniel Sackheim said: "What was so great about the Harrison Ford movies was that they were about an everyman hero. He was a guy who wasn't a superhero. He was heroic, but he was vulnerable. He wasn't afraid to be scared. He was a regular man and a hero." Wendell Pierce as James Greer, Ryan's boss in T-FAD, a non-practising Muslim and former CIA station chief in Karachi; later promoted to deputy station chief in Moscow, and then re-assigned to Venezuela by request. In Season 4, Greer becomes CIA deputy director upon Jack's resignation from the post. Abbie Cornish as Dr. Cathy Mueller (season 1 & 4), Ryan's love interest, a physician specializing in infectious diseases and spokeperson for the World Health Organization. Ali Suliman as Mousa bin Suleiman (season 1), a Lebanese-born French Islamic terrorist skilled in finance who is radicalized after graduating from Dauphine and seeks to establish a unified Islamic caliphate against the West with his brother Ali Dina Shihabi as Hanin Ali (season 1), Suleiman's wife. John Hoogenakker as Matice (aka "Garth" and Jeff, season 2, recurring season 1), a leading black ops operative with the CIA Special Activities Center Noomi Rapace as Harriet "Harry" Baumann (season 2), a German Federal Intelligence Service (BND) agent tracking her former associate Max Schenkel in Venezuela. Jordi Mollà as Nicolás Reyes (season 2), president of Venezuela. Francisco Denis as Miguel Ubarri (season 2), President Reyes's chief advisor and childhood friend, a concerned general. Cristina Umaña as Gloria Bonalde (season 2), the major contender in the upcoming Venezuelan presidential election and wife of the missing Minister of Interior and Justice. Jovan Adepo as Marcus Bishop (season 2), a retired U.S. Navy special crewman now fixing boats, reluctantly recruited back into action with call sign "Uber (Select)". Michael Kelly as Mike November (seasons 2–4), CIA station chief in Venezuela, twice divorced from U.S. Ambassador to Venezuela Lisa Calabrese. Betty Gabriel as Elizabeth Wright (seasons 3–4), CIA station chief in Rome, and Jack's superior; later promoted to CIA director. James Cosmo as Luka Goncharov (season 3). Peter Guinness as Petr Kovac (season 3). Nina Hoss as Alena Kovac (season 3), president of the Czech Republic. Alexej Manvelov as Alexei Petrov (season 3), Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation. Michael Peña as Domingo Chavez, a former Navy SEAL and a senior CIA operative in SAC/SOG (season 4). Okieriete Onaodowan as Adebayo 'Ade' Osoji (season 4). Louis Ozawa Changchien as Chao Fah Sien (season 4), chief of operations of the Silver Lotus Triad. Zuleikha Robinson as Zeyara Lemos (season 4). Recurring Guest Episodes Season 1 (2018) Season 2 (2019) Season 3 (2022) Season 4 (2023) Production Development On September 22, 2015, it was announced that Carlton Cuse and Graham Roland were developing a television series adaptation of Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan series of novels. The potential series was described as "a new contemporary take on the character using the novels as source material". Production companies involved with the project were slated to include Paramount Television, Platinum Dunes and Skydance Media. A week later, following a bidding war among multiple television networks, it was announced that streaming service Amazon Video had purchased the rights to the series. Amazon proceeded to put the production into development during which time they ordered three scripts written by Cuse and Roland. On August 16, 2016, it was announced that the production had been given a straight-to-series order for a first season consisting of ten episodes. In January 2017, it was announced that Morten Tyldum would direct the pilot and that Daniel Sackheim would direct multiple episodes and produce the series. On April 24, 2018, it was reported that Amazon had renewed the series. The second season was set in South America, where Ryan takes on "a dangerous, declining democratic regime." On May 14, 2018, it was reported that Richard Rutkowski had served as cinematographer for the pilot and that Checco Varese had acted in the role for the following seven episodes of season one. On August 14, 2018, it was announced that Phil Abraham was joining the series as an executive producer and would direct the first two episodes of the second season. On September 4, 2018, it was reported that Dennie Gordon would direct three episodes of season two and serve as an executive producer. On February 13, 2019, Amazon renewed the series for a third season at the TCA press tour which is scheduled to be released on December 21, 2022. On October 24, 2019, Paul Scheuring was reported to be the .... Discover the Tom Ryan popular books. Find the top 100 most popular Tom Ryan books.
