\"\"<\/p>\n

Chris Pine<\/strong> is no stranger to taking on high-profile roles, after playing Kirk in 2009’s Star Trek<\/em>, but each time is still a bit nerve-wracking for the actor.<\/p>\n

Pine has taken on the latest incarnation of Tom Clancy<\/strong>‘s CIA Analyst Jack Ryan, in a movie that is currently filming.<\/p>\n

Taking on the role of Ryan was like “jumping off a cliff,” said Pine. But Pine is not daunted by previous takes on the character as performed by Harrison Ford, Ben Affleck<\/strong> and Alec Baldwin<\/strong>. “Once you kind of jump off that cliff, you’re off the cliff. I can’t be Alec Baldwin, I can’t be Harrison Ford; I can only really do my own thing and stay true to the pillars of this character.”<\/p>\n

Pine explained the difference between Ryan and James T. Kirk. “Where Kirk’s a man of brawn, Ryan’s a quieter guy,” said Pine. “He’s not Jason Bourne, he doesn’t have 50 kinds of kung fu. He figures it out like MacGyver<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

In Jack Ryan<\/em>, Russian Terrorist Viktor Cherevin (Kenneth Branagh<\/strong>) is plotting to destroy the U.S. economy. The film is due out at the end of the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
