Tom Clancy (1947-2013)

Military thriller author Tom Clancy.

Rest In Peace, Mr. Clancy... The Hunt for Red October, Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger are great films because of your brilliant novels that they're based on. Red October, in particular, will always be fondly remembered; I recall that after I watched this Jack Ryan thriller at the theater in 1990, I drew storyboards for my own submarine action movie. I was 10-years-old at the time, as an FYI. It was these storyboards that, in turn, launched my interest in filmmaking—which I'm still passionate about today.

Tom Clancy passed away at the age of 66 yesterday.
