Jack Ryan, LSE Alumnus
Go watch the newest Hollywood blockbuster movie: "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit". Before Jack Ryan (played by Chris Pine) stops a plot to collapse the Dollar, prevents nuclear war between the US and Russia (Ben Affleck in "The Sum of All Fears"), aids a technologically-superior Russian ballistic nuclear missile submarine to defect to the United States (Alec Baldwin in "The Hunt for Red October"), exposes illegal paramilitary action against the Colombian drug cartels (Harrison Ford in "Clear and Present Danger") and dodges an IRA killer commando (Harrison Ford in "Patriot Games"), he could only have studied at one place: the London School of Economics and Political Science.
