    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.

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