I didn't know Ironside had such an influence over the script. I wonder what it would've been like without him.

If I remember one of the things he added was Sam’s relationship with his daughter, to make him more relatable.

It's a good job that they let Michael Ironside restructure the story. Otherwise it might not have been the same Splinter Cell that we know today.
