Frank Horrigan (In the Line of Fire)

Frank Horrigan is the main character, played by Clint Eastwood, in the 1993 political action thriller film In the Line of Fire. Horrigan is a Secret Service agent haunted by his failure to save President John F. Kennedy from assassination in 1963. Driven by guilt and a determination not to fail again, Horrigan is reassigned to the Presidential Protective Detail to investigate and stop a clever, psychopathic former CIA assassin named Mitch Leary, who is threatening the life of the current U.S. President. He works alongside a younger agent, Lilly Raines, and his character is partly inspired by the real Secret Service agent Clint Hill, who expressed similar guilt over the JFK assassination.
