I always thought Tom Berenger would be the quintessential John Clark. Far better than Willem Defoe in Clear and Present Danger. Sadly, too old to play a younger John Kelly. :(

Good call on Monica Potter :aok

Can't say I actually worked :D, but I was employed by GD for several years.

I remember getting paid an absurd amount of money to put airplane parts in plastic bags before I joined the white collar ranks.  Ahhh the good old days :)
