While Keifer Sutherland has certainly had his issues over the years, I am becoming increasingly more concerned about Jack Ryan than Jack Bauer. What has happened to our beloved Harrison Ford? He is a shadow of his former self. Like the soldiers who are allegedly still roaming the jungles of Vietnam, unaware that the war is over, I think that Harrison Ford is unaware that the filming of Regarding Henry has ended. Someone call the man and tell him, "It's a wrap." I just want to shake him and have Han Solo come out. Paging Dr. Jones. I want the man who covered his eyes long enough to avoid the curse of the Lost Ark. I want the man who is afraid of snakes, but not Darth Vader. I want Chewbaccas friend. At the Golden Globe Awards the other night, they could have wheeled out the cryogenically frozen Han Solo and no one would have noticed the difference. As Americans we cannot stand for this. What's next, Bruce Willis in a dress? We already had to deal with Dirty Harry starring in the Bridges of Madison County. We can only take so much. Playing Han Solo makes you an American hero. But Han Solo, Indiana Jones and Jack Ryan? That is unprecedented heroism. There are responsibilities that come with that much bravado. We need to get him out of this funk. Maybe he needs to date a girl who doesn't disappear when she turns sideways. Somebody get him his whip and his hat, or get him behind the wheel of the Falcon. We need our reluctant, wisecracking hero back.
Cool fact: Tom Selleck could not rearrange his filming schedule for Magnum PI, so Harrison Ford got the role of Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
