Ranking the Jack Ryan performances, from Harrison Ford to John Krasinski

Who has played the most convincing portrayal of C.I.A. analyst Jack Ryan over the years?

The fourth and final season of Prime Video’s Jack Ryan series came to a close on July 14, marking the end of John Krasinski’s run as the titular fictional character.

The Jack Ryan show has been wildly popular on Amazon’s streaming service, but it’s not the first time that Tom Clancy’s literary character has been portrayed in film or television.

Ryan is a C.I.A. analyst that is frequently thrust into field work — and more — due to various plots against the government that threaten to destabilize world politics and safety.

Before Amazon picked up the show, Ryan had been the lead character in four feature films played by some very top-notch actors. Let’s rank who has been the best Jack Ryan in honor of the finale.
