 Alec Baldwin (qv) played Jack Ryan in  _Hunt for Red October, The (1990)_ (qv), but  Harrison Ford (I) (qv) replaced him for this and future films  based on Tom Clancy (I) (qv)s novels. Rumors give the reason as  either Baldwins "unprofessional behavior" during the making of The  Hunt for Red October, or his supposed demand of $4 million. Others  say that he declined to return as Ryan because he didnt like the  script. The official version is that Baldwin was offered a theatre  role that he preferred to reprising Ryan.
