Chris Pine is a second generation Hollywood actor, but it wasn’t until he took on the role of Captain Kirk in Star Trek that he finally made a name for himself. How much of a name? Well according to Variety he is in talks to be the fourth actor to play Jack Ryan in The Art of Making Money. The role has been previously played Oscar nominees Alec Baldwin and Harrison Ford and Oscar winner Ben Affleck, so it is not a bad company of actors to be part of. I hope he signs on for the role because there is just something so likable about him and I would like to see him in this type of role.
Variety said if he becomes the next Jack Ryan, they are unsure what he would film he film first the Tom Clancy one or Star Trek 2. I am kind of hoping for ST2 because I don’t want to wait to long for that sequel to come out. When did I become such a Trekkie?
