Role: Admiral James Greer

In this Cold War thriller, based on Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan book series, Jones plays Admiral James Greer, the CIA’s gruff deputy director. He helps Ryan hunt down a Soviet nuclear submarine that is fast approaching America. The twist, Ryan discovers, is that the Soviet submarine captain is planning to defect rather than launch a nuclear attacksomething he has to work hard to convince Greer of. (Spoiler: The crisis is averted.)

“I’m a politician, which means I’m a cheat and a liar, and when I’m not kissing babies, I’m stealing their lollipops.”
“Welcome to the CIA, sport.”
“You think this is a game, Jack? People are going to die.”
“He’s defecting, Jack. And if he isn’t, then I’ll kill him myself.”
“Now understand, Commanderthat torpedo did not self-destruct. You heard it hit the hull. And I … was never here.”
“It’s a game of chess, Jack. It’s all about moves and countermoves.”
