    Harrison Ford is one of Hollywood's leading men, with an acting career that has spanned more than 50 years and included iconic roles such as Indiana Jones and Han Solo. (biography.com)
    Harrison Ford (b.1942) is an American actor, pilot, and environmental activist. As of 2019, the U.S. domestic box office grosses of his films total over $5.1 billion, with worldwide grosses surpassing $9.3 billion, placing him at No. 4 on the list of highest-grossing domestic box office stars of all time. In addition to his box office success, he is also an Academy Award nominee, a four-time Golden Globe nominee, a three-time Saturn Award winner, and the recipient of the AFI Life Achievement Award and the Cecil B. DeMille Award. Following the initial part of his career in bit parts and supporting roles, Ford gained worldwide fame for his starring role as Han Solo in the epic space opera film Star Wars (1977), reprising the role in four sequels over the course of the next 42 years. He is also widely known for his portrayal of Indiana Jones in the titular film franchise, beginning with the action-adventure film Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), and for playing other characters in different franchises, most notably Rick Deckard in the dystopian science fiction films Blade Runner (1982) and Blade Runner 2049 (2017) and the Tom Clancy character Jack Ryan in the spy thriller films Patriot Games (1992) and Clear and Present Danger (1994). His career spans six decades and includes collaborations with some of the most acclaimed and influential filmmakers of all time such as George Lucas, Francis Ford Coppola, Steven Spielberg, Ridley Scott, Peter Weir, Roman Polanski and Mike Nichols. Outside of his franchise roles, Ford has portrayed heroic characters in other films such as the thrillers Witness (1985), for which he received his only Academy Award nomination, The Fugitive (1993), and Air Force One (1997), as well as the historical sports drama 42 (2013). In addition to his heroic roles, he played morally ambiguous and darker characters in films such as the coming-of-age comedy drama American Graffiti (1973), the conspiracy thriller The Conversation (1974), the survival drama The Mosquito Coast (1986), the legal drama Presumed Innocent (1990), and the supernatural suspense thriller What Lies Beneath (2000). Ford has also appeared in several romantic comedies and dramas throughout his career, including Heroes (1977), Working Girl (1988), and Sabrina (1995). Throughout his career, Ford has received significant recognition for his work in the entertainment industry. In 1986, he was nominated for Best Actor at the 58th Academy Awards for his performance in Witness, a role for which he also received BAFTA and Golden Globe nominations in the same category. Three additional Golden Globe nominations went to Ford in 1987, 1994 and 1996 for his performances in The Mosquito Coast, The Fugitive and Sabrina. In 2000, he was the recipient of the AFI Life Achievement Award from the American Film Institute for his body of work, presented to him by two of his closest collaborators and fellow industry giants, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg. In 2002, he was given the Cecil B. DeMille Award, another career achievement honor, from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association at the 59th Golden Globe Awards ceremony. (Wikipedia)

    These two could easily pass as brothers. Not only do they both look alike, but they also are extremely down to earth and they both lack the pretentious element that is all too common with folks in the movie industry. This has to be the best interview that I have seen of Harrison.

    I like Harrison Ford; always have. I particularly like best when he shows the vulnerability of each character he has played. The determination, the courage, is always there, but, that all-too-human vulnerability is present, as well. It his is most appealing strength on-screen.

    Harrison Ford's unique because he's a cool action guy leading man type, but he has elements of Steve Martin and Charles Grodin in his personality that help elevate his charisma. Like he can have kind of a high-pitched voice and act kinda goofy at times yet still come off cool. Just an observation.

    Granted, this interview is almost 20 years old, so I'm coming to it pretty late. But Charlie Rose's researchers & producers should have known enough to flash a photo of Billy Wilder, NOT William Wyler, during the discussion of the "Sabina" remake.

    • @advids5572

      @stephpyrzynski Рік тому

      A surprising mistake, but I can see a sliver of a reason how it could've happened. It might have been a mixup because Wyler had directed Hepburn in her breakout role, which garnered her an Oscar-and then went straight on to Sabrina, which was only her 2nd major motion picture.

    When I compare his role in Star Wars, ep 4, with the first Bladerunner movie char of Deckard, I can't help thinking the casual way he "auditioned" after just being a tradie for the set, was almost similar for Bladerunner, did he wing it, or do a proper job?
