Jack Ryan a resourceful character
jack ryan has such history that it makes you wonder. i really liked the way he is played in tom clancy's novells i mostly liked the two novels :- 1 the hunt for the red cotober {kranzytz ocktaybar} 2 the sum of all fears these two books are the best ones yet 69.109.184.210 (talk) 06:32, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

The scene of the 747 hitting Washington was eerily similar to the 9/11 attacks some years later. Gilesmorant 14:51, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Very eerily similar. My jaw dropped while reading that part in Debt of Honor.  76.206.16.84 (talk) 00:38, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

Sister
in WR it is mentioned that Jack had a sister. she had not been mentioned since, not even in connection with Emmett and his wife's death. does she exist? 128.54.160.176 (talk) 23:26, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

-answer-

Jack's sister married an italian-american engineer and lives in Seattle. The Caruso brothers in Teeth of the Tiger are her sons. 69.61.184.12 (talk) 02:35, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Speech?
The article says Jack was in London to give a speech when the attack occured; the book definitely says he was there for "vacation and research." Where'd the speech part come from? The movie? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gibblet (talk • contribs) 12:02, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Probably. I'd have to check the book, but there was definitely a speech in the movie. MagnoliaSouth (talk) 01:22, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Presidental Successor
Wasn't the previous vice president elected to office after jack? I don't have my copy of The teeth of the tiger so i cant verify at the moment 86.132.188.170 18:38, 14 June 2006 (UTC)


 * As I recall, the order went Durling (killed by plane crash) --> Jack (retired) --> Robby (killed by assassination - according to 'The Teeth of the Tiger') --> Kealty (former vice president). None of those were elected to office - they all succeeded the last person. I could be wrong, however. Mike Peel 09:07, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I thought Kealty was elected though. Jack retired early to give Robby the chance to be titular president, even if it was only for a month or so but Kealty was elected. fdewaele 09:09, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
 * It was Fowler (Resigned) --> Durling (killed in plane crash) --> Ryan (retired,resigned) --> Jackson (Assassinated), then an unknown successor, and Ed Kealty was ELECTED to the office.--Mike Theodore 01:21, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Robert Jackson was never the President of the United States in the novels. The retirement referred to by Jack Jr in Teeth of the Tiger and clarified in Dead or Alive is Jack Sr's decision to not run for re-election. He did not cede the presidency to Jackson and any mention of him as president are erroneous. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 35.11.200.41 (talk) 05:49, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Given the text of Dead or Alive, It goes Fowler (resigned) --> Durling (plane crash) --> Ryan (took over for Durling, elected in his own right, served full term, did not run for reelection) --> Fowler (elected "by default" when his opponent, Robby Jackson, was killed during the campaign). Though that makes the timeline very inconsistent, especially when synchronizing with real events.HappyJake (talk) 10:41, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

The correct order is Fowler (resigned) --> Durling (plane crash) --> Ryan (took over for Durling, elected in his own right, served full term, did not run for reelection) --> Kealty (elected "by default" when his opponent, Robby Jackson, was killed during the campaign) --> Ryan — Preceding unsigned comment added by 182.239.215.56 (talk) 12:24, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

Movie continuity
Doesn't it make more sense to state that the movies are not intented to be contiguous with one another? There's no connection between each one, as some take place during the cold war and other (ostensibly earlier in Jack's career) movies do not. It's better to simply say they're separate movies in separate universes that just happened to involve a character with the same name. Kimpire 08:20, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Pictures
WE should get pictures of all his potrayers...you know...like Ben Affleck and stuff.--64.121.1.55 01:08, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I think fan art is more appropriate for the top of the article, while all the celebrity portrayals should be included at the bottom of the article under the sub-heading of 'Film.'AWC3117 (talk) 05:53, 21 October 2014 (UTC)

Sir
"Although given an honorary knighthood by Queen Elizabeth II, he is not entitled to the prefix "Sir" as he remains an American Citizen." "... American citizens require special permission from Congress before accepting foreign honours" This implies he could be entitled but he didn't request it rather than they were not entitled to it? The article implies it would be impossible for him to have it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Byornski (talk • contribs) 03:59, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

No it only says that since hes not brittish he cant be called Sir not sure if thats really true but that is what it says 81.227.86.210 (talk) 18:49, 5 January 2007 (UTC)


 * It's not rue that American citizens need permission before accepting foreign honors. The Constitution states that:

"No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State."

In other words, a congressman, President, etc., would need the consent of Congress before accepting a Title of Nobility.

Also, a knighthood is NOT a title of nobility. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.14.67.2 (talk) 00:47, 1 May 2007 (UTC).

It is ALSO stated by the Queen that this permission 'will not prove an obstacle' - in other words HRH seems fairly confident that such permission will be given. Ryan is referred to as 'Sir John' in the UK for the remainder of his interactions with that country. There's no evidence that the matter was definitively settled - but the circumstantial evidence supports that conclusion. - Iain Howe 15:22, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

It is worth noting that in Patriot Games that he would be knighted, and that they personally would speak with the president to take care of it "amicably". It is never again questioned in the series if his Knighthood was made legal in the US, but it is implied that it had been approved. Its on page 42 of the original novel, at least the copy I have. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.165.236.17 (talk) 21:18, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

Does this really need TWO in-universe biographies?
Why does this have two biographies for a fictional character? First you have a nearly 700 word "brief" biography and later you have an even longer "detailed" biography, neither including the very essential word "fictional." Is there any information from Tom Clancy himself that could provide a behind-the-scenes insight on the character that could constitute something non-fictional? On a side note, there is a list of movies, but not list of books or video games. - Kevingarcia 05:31, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Married
"Ryan is also married in the first three films" Isn't he married in the Sum of All Fears? --Steven Fisher 16:06, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

--No. He gets engaged right at the end though 68.157.60.50 20:13, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

President is not his name
It's his title. George W. Bush's first name isn't President. Otherwise he would be President President George W. Bush. 7F 19:14, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
 * However, it is appropriate to refer to former US Presidents by "President". i.e President Nixon, President Clinton, President Bush, etc.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.206.16.84 (talk) 00:41, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

CPA
Ryan also happens to be a certified public accountant. He took the exam once and passed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.131.95.131 (talk) 08:01, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Religion?
What is Jack's religion? I think he's a Catholic, but it also mentions Jesuit a lot. Anyone know? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.30.52.205 (talk) 15:59, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

You'll find that the Jesuits are an order of Catholic Priests - they do have a strong educational tradition - but Jack couldn't be one and be married (well - at least he'd be breaking his vows!!). I'm afraid I can't help further - Minmo 23:47, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

No, he went to a Jesuit school. Thanks for answering my question. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.30.52.10 (talk) 16:45, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

The point was that Jesuit isn't a religion :P IIRC in Patriot games they explicitely state that he's Catholic during one of the meetings of the ULA. However, I'm not certain on this, and not in a position to check just now. If someone could look into it, it'd be appreciated.129.171.233.77 (talk) 17:25, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

do we honor the movies at all?
doesn't ryan actually attend that guys funeral in the movie? should we say at the top "the following extensive dorky bio adheres to the clancy-book universe not necess all fictional jack ryan-clancy universi"? as I believe clancy was involved in production of the films. IKnowAboutKnownUnknowns 19:34, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

In Universe?
This page seems to be very much described as if Ryan was a real person, despite references to the books. In particular, the 45th President and 47th Vice President boxes almost match the style of the same boxes on pages of actual presidents/vice-presidents. The (Tom Clancy) at the bottom seems less notable, and I believe it would be possible for someone to get confused by this, at least initially. Anyone else agree? Dylan (talk) 18:31, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Film Chronology Error?
In the IN FILMS section of the article it states: "In both the novel and film, Patriot Games is a prequel to The Hunt for Red October, rather than a sequel. This is made clear by the fact that Ryan's wife is pregnant with their second child in Patriot Games and the baby (Jack Ryan Jr.) is present in The Hunt for Red October..."

While it is true that Patriot Games (PG) is a prequel novel to The Hunt for Red October (THFRO), I think it is quite clear this is not the case with the Ryan films and that PG is chronologically a SEQUEL film to THFRO. Therefore, I believe the IN FILMS section is incorrect for several reasons:

1. It states in the green map "prologue" that THFRO takes place at some point in 1984. In PG, Ryan's daughter, Sally, has a poster of 90's teen icon Jason Priestley in her bedroom when she checks on her gold fish... implying that PG takes place in the early 90s.

2. There are age discrepancies with the actors... most noticeably with Sally Ryan who is played by Thora Birch in PG, but is noticeably YOUNGER in THFRO and played by Louise Borras.

3. In THFRO, Sally does NOT have a baby brother, however, Ryan informs Adm Greer that Sally has "asked" for one to be brought home for her... instead, Ryan buys her a teddy bear.

4. In PG, Ryan's wife informs her husband that she is pregnant and the film ends with Ryan (and the viewer) wondering what the sex of the still unborn child will be when a puzzled Ryan looks at his wife and the film cuts to black and end credits roll. Ryan's son, John Ryan Jr, then appears as an infant in the third film in the series: Clear and Present Danger (CAPD). This suggests PG is the middle film in the chronology of the first 3 Jack Ryan films... THFRO, PG, CAPD.

5. It is implied in PG that Ryan had left the CIA due to pressure from his wife after the events of THFRO. In PG he then returns to use the full force of the agency to track the splinter IRA operatives and Sean Miller... Ryan tells Marty Cantor, a CIA Desk Chief, "I want back in." Also, Ryan's wife, Caroline, tells Ryan that she does not want him to return to that life in the CIA [from THFRO] when Adm Greer visits the Ryans' at their New England house.

6. Harrison Ford is a noticeably older actor than Alec Baldwin when he assumed the role in PG. This is likely why the producers structured PG as a sequel film to THFRO rather than a prequel as seen in the Ryanverse novels.

For these reasons, the IN FILMS section of this article is not accurate and should be changed accordingly. 65.95.100.24 (talk) 06:55, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Insider trading
I was wondering whether anyone has ever elaborated on the fact that the wealth of Ryan is built on insider trading? This article states that "he began to invest his own money, banking on a tip he had received from an uncle about the workers' takeover of the Chicago and North Western Railroad". In Patriot Games, at a certain point, Ryan invests in a stock on which he received a tip from Robby Jackson (the firm has developped a new chip that will be used in fighter aircrafts, and when Jackson gives the tip to Ryan, even the firm doesn't know). I am surprised that this was never raised by anybody, I mean against Ryan, in the stories of Clancy, but I guess it does tell us something about Clancy himself? Anyway, has anybody ever read/seen anything about that? Asavaa (talk) 17:02, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
 * In the series, he was investigated and cleared. Niteshift36 (talk) 05:02, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Could you be more specific? I mean, where in the books is this mentionned? Also, do you mean he was cleared, or do you mean nothing could be proven? I mean, from our "divine" POV, we 'know that Ryan did earn a lot of money using inside information. So obviously, if he was cleared it was because of the lack of proof...but the moral issue is still there, isn't it? Asavaa (talk) 22:20, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
 * In Cardinal of the Kremlin, Greer tells Jack he needs to contact the SEC, I'm not far enough in to know if it gets resolved in this book. Ironcurtain12 (talk) 16:24, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Merge from Ryanverse
I've merged the information from the Ryanverse page to Jack Ryan (Tom Clancy). This was for various reasons, including the fact that there was no real discussion of the books on the Jack Ryan page, but mainly because I can't see that the page title "Ryanverse" is a suitable name for the topic, as it does not appear to be established. The two references used to establish its validity were a wikipedia mirror and a user list from amazon. Rob Sinden (talk) 14:21, 13 January 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure that's such a good idea. It's rated as mid-importance to WikiProject Novels, so as the problem was the title, it could have just been renamed... Jack Ryan fictional universe as the template says, for instance. 76.66.197.17 (talk) 15:38, 13 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Hmm, maybe, although I think that all the information should really be in one place to avoid duplication. On this page, there wasn't even a list of the novels Ryan appears in.  Perhaps I was being a little too Bold.  I guess possibly because I couldn't find the information on the Jack Ryan (Tom Clancy) page, and would never have thought that would be a "Ryanverse" page (WP:NC states "The choice of article names should put the interests of readers before those of editors, and those of a general audience before those of specialists"), I felt it needed to change. And I couldn't see the point of having both pages.  Perhaps Jack Ryan (franchise) as per WP:NCF may be a better title though?  Rob Sinden (talk) 16:06, 13 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Sounds good. The old Ryanverse article was a mess anyways, so a new start would be good, to make it look more like the other franchise articles for Tom Clancy (see the Tom Clancy franchises articles) 76.66.197.17 (talk) 16:39, 13 January 2010 (UTC)


 * So do you reckon restore the information to Ryanverse, then move that page to Jack Ryan (franchise), leaving this page as the character like, for example, Indiana Jones and Indiana Jones (franchise)? Rob Sinden (talk) 09:01, 14 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Franchise is probably best. --Izno (talk) 09:49, 14 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Sounds good to me. 76.66.197.17 (talk) 05:01, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Shouldn't we then call this page Jack Ryan (character) (as per James Bond (character)) as the current title could be misleading? Rob Sinden (talk) 09:22, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Although looking at it further, I can't really see that anything is gained by having two separate pages, unless the Jack Ryan (character) page ONLY contains pertinent (fictional) biographical information. Rob Sinden (talk) 09:41, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

If one were to use the James Bond analogy that would probably make a great template. After all, both are primary characters set in a series of novels that were later turned into a whole franchise of films, video games, and even toys. If someone wants to take the time and do the editing I see no reason to argue against it. Rapier1 (talk) 04:24, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

For the list if shown/expanded at bottom for the Ryan-verse there is a row for Characters. I feel that Sonar Technician "Jonesey" should be included there. He did appear in other Clancy books. He has a fair amount of back-story - from book / omitted in movie for Hunt For Red October. 74.214.42.26 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 21:31, 1 August 2010 (UTC).

Last appearance?
The infobox lists Jack Ryan's last appearance as The Teeth of the Tiger. Problem is, he is talked about in that novel, but never actually appears. His last actual appearance was in Red Rabbit. I'm adjusting it accordingly. Niteshift36 (talk) 05:07, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Un-named Vice President
This entry in the "Presidents" listing strikes me as speculative and OR. Is this entity actually mentioned in "Teeth of the Tiger" or "Dead or Alive"? I only recall mention of a rival candidate during Kealty's campaign, which may or may not be Robby's successor. But I didn't pay special attention to this question, so I may have overlooked something.

If no explicit mention is made, the entry should be replaced with a simple mention of our lack of information about the interim timeline. Assumptions based on how this would have played out in the real US just aren't good enough.

188.46.229.226 (talk) 12:22, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

Contradiction
In the Presidents section it alternately says that Ryan finished his own term of office and that he retired early and Jackson finished Ryan's term. They cant both be right. If the books contradict each other we should at least say which book gives which version of events. I haven't read the most recent ones though. Richard75 (talk) 13:51, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Teeth of the Tiger could be interpreted either way (if I recall correctly). It indicated that Ryan "retired" but I don't remember if it said specifically that he "resigned" during his term. Dead or Alive strongly implies, though it still doesn't say so for sure, that Ryan finished Durling's term (which must have been less than 2 years), was elected to his own term, decided against running for a second full term, thus the "retirement", and that Robby Jackson was killed while running against Kealty. The novels themselves are a bit inconsistent on several points, not least is the time frame. HappyJake (talk) 10:50, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

First Appearance
the invaders s01e02 (17 jan 1967) references "CIA officer jack ryan". coincidence? or could clancy have picked this up somehow? he would have been 19 at time of broadcast; seems a likely viewer.

Debt of Honor ff. Timeline and Constitutional limits on presidency.
Right now it does NOT work out.

As it is the article claims that Ryan was to be sworn in as VP in 1995, roughly 11 months before the next election (which would be in November 1996 and in reality was Clinton's second election), as the POTUS is killed in the kamikaze attack on the Congress he instead gets sworn in as President directly. So far so good. But then it goes on to say he stands for election and for re-election in 2000 and wins both. Which would give him an "inofficial" or acting term of 11 months til inauguration in 1997 and an official 8 year term from 1997 to 2005. Yet the article claims he stands down for his VP Robby Jackson in 2004 (Election for Bush's second term 2005-2009) who got assassinated before the election day so Kealty won and Jack then goes for re-election in 2008 which again he won. As the article is written this would be his third official term. Which is impossible due to the 22nd amendment limiting it to up to 24 months of "acting" presidency and 2 terms or 8 years of elected presidency.

Which means the presidential succession is faulty and can't work out this way. The reference mentioned from "The Bear and the Dragon" probably was meant to solve this contradiction by putting the destruction of the Capitol into spring 2000 and all events from then on (Executive Decision, Rainbow Six, Bear and Dragon) inside this 15 months, the election must be his first one not re-election in the sense that another real term came before it, but only the restterm of Durling who in turn took over the term of Fowler after those's resignation. Alternatively it could be read as 15 months from his inauguration which came said 11 months after the assassination of his predecessor and his planned swearing in as a vice president, giving those three books 26 months from the first event, through a hastened election, to the place of the quote. In any way Ryan can only serve one term (G.W.Bush's first term, January 2001 to January 2005) there plus the rest of the one cut short by that Boeing crashing into his VP inauguration. Only then the second term from Locked on ff. makes any form of sense.

Likewise the newer works from Command Authority to Commander in Chief - if Ryan is still mentioned as the president in those as the separate book articles seem to imply - cannot take place after January 25th 2013 as he would be out of his second full term by then and a successor elected and inaugurated. The dates given like 2013, 2014-07, 2014-12 and 2015 do not work out with his possible presidency!

Finally maybe the mention of Kealty only serving one term should be clarified in that he IS running for a second term against Jack Ryan when Ryan wins his second election (2008 for the 2009-13 term) which means he cannot have already served two elected terms. 178.203.29.150 (talk) 22:58, 20 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Where are you seeing this? The article mentions Jack Ryan's initial term of 11 months, his election after that, then his election 8 years after that, for a total of 8 years and 11 months as POTUS, well within the limit. But if the page is wrong, you should WP:BE_BOLD and fix it. SkonesMickLoud (talk) 08:04, 25 January 2016 (UTC)


 * In the Timeline it is stated under Debt of Honor that the election coming up is the 1997 election. Then under Bear and Dragon it gives this summary: "Russia is admitted to NATO; China and Russia fight a major war, in which the U.S. intervenes on Russia's side. It implies that the British Prime Minister is Tony Blair. *Ryan has won re-election as president (2001).* He refuses to run in the 2004 election, endorsing his vice-president Robby Jackson as their party's candidate."
 * And I generally do not fix such things in articles as i've had too many confrontations with jealous "professional" Wikipedians that protect their beloved articles against "amateur" edits and won't accept any opinion but their own if no consensus has been reached before editing. The only edits worth making are grammar and spelling corrections, nobody really cares about those, As soon as you go into changing content it's a war against the establishment.

On the correct spelling of Caroline's maiden name
Currently, this article spells her last name as both Muller and as Mueller. As most people know Muller and Mueller/Müller are not the same thing and are pronounced differently. I first came to this page after I saw the movie The Sum of All Fears in which the character Anatoli Grushkov pronounces her name as "Mueller/Müller," and I noticed that her name was spelled as "Muller" in the credits. Now, I realize that is what is in the movie, but I thought if someone who knows the books could verify which way it is spelled there. It may have been a mistake in the movie, but if it's pronounced as "Mueller/Müller," is that the way it should be spelled? __209.179.9.46 (talk) 18:21, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
