The “doesn’t care” and “grumpy” get bandied around a lot. But after playing SO many iconic parts, I think his detachment is not only healthy, but the best possible reaction.
Harrison Ford is probably my all time favorite “Hollywood Star.” The ‘80, ‘81, ‘82 run of Empire Strikes Back, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Blade Runner has to be one of the most incredible runs of all time. Great work as always, Dod.
These documentaries are honestly some of my favorites on UA-cam, the editing and storytelling is so damn good and literally every one of them is a treat
Nobody does fame like Harrison Ford. His nonchalance about the idea of being "famous" and almost purely doing what he does for the sake of his own love of it is a lesson for us all. Don't be bogged down by the perceptions of others, don't let that perception inflate your ego as you see so many these days do. He enjoys the work yet doesn't let it control his life in a way most other actors seem to. We're all just humans at the end of the day, and Harrison is such a great example of it. Thank you Dodford for another magnificent doc, someone else who clearly loves the work he does, and it makes it shine through each and every video
I feel like that’s down to multiple reasons why he is how he is, firstly he didn’t become a movie star at 18, he worked normal jobs and faced rejection in the acting world, and also he became famous when he was 35. So by that age you have alot more of a grounded view on life so the materialistic stuff and being famous isn’t important to you and if it’s bringing in the money to give yourself a decent life and your family one then that’s good enough.
For his own love oh stfu him doing captain america 4 is only cuz they pay him allot he dosent give a shit about marvel or its character. Same thing as force awakens his saying he doing for the fans i SO FING BS
@pandabouncebounce Oh no! You're having trouble expressing yourself. Those middle school English classes were more important than you thought, probably.
I can't believe I've gone this long without knowing Harrison is from Chicago. This legitimately explains his whole personality regarding his acting career and his views on star wars. His generation were those of quite confidence, and a certain indifference to recognition and attachment. My grandparents act very similar to how Harrison has in interviews, and I've seen this perspective trickle down through the generations into my life as well. Chicago, like all other major cities, has stereotypes. Some are bad, and some we should revisit. I always wondered why I just understood his perspective, and now I get it. He just acts like what I've seen from old Chicagoans lol
You know you've got something special when 90% of the comments are referring to you, the creator and editor of the documentary, and not just discussing the content. The same thing can be said about specifically only editors who are very good at their job (something like editors who take streamers content and make YT videos from it). You don't see it often, but an example would be the editor for Tobias Fate's youtube channel. There's a ton of league slop content out there with editors, but his videos are mostly editor praise. That's a long winded way of saying, you're one of the greatest on the platform right now, and I appreciate your work so much.
Honestly, one of your best yet. Really felt like you got to the core of Ford and how each of his works tied into his life's story. Exceptional work as always.
Always astonished at how you tell a story without much of your own spoken narrative. Your editing and storytelling through that is astounding. Love your work!
I have finally found someone here who allows the protagonist of the video to tell his own story and in his own words without unnecessary, repetitive or stupid overdubbed commentaries. My compliments to Dodford. whomever you may be. It shows how you respect the people you want to represent here. I wished others would take this as an example on how to present or introduce a personality, either in the entertainment industry or in any other activity in life.
I'd argue he cares deeply about the roles he plays, and he's appreciative of the love he's shown, but he's very clever about how he appears in public. He knows the audience love the cynic, and he's happy to play that part for them. He isn't looking to be recognised as the smiley, grateful guy. He doesn't want anything more than he has, and that's rare for a movie star.
But same time very few peoples know him personally and he is a super star that became multi millionnaire; if you look his relation with Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher they didn't see themselves that much after the end 80s/90s. I not say he is bad person or whatever but he might be less friendly than Indiana Jones. If you compare with Carrie Fisher personality, she was so clever, a sweet heart and really fun. Mark Hamill looks like a very friendly guy too. He is not looking to be recognized because he is the most known action movie superstar ever. I mean if you're mega rich and mega loved it's quite easy to be popular & chill lol. I think there's many things we don't know about him and that's totally ok! In the end we all humans and we are not that much different.
The editing is more like a story or an experience than a documentary. I couldn't name any other channel out of my head that does it that good. respect!
The only complaint is, I need MORE. Such amazing documentary videos everytime Dodford. The ability to tell a story with zero or minimal added voiceover, just through brtilliant editing is beyond great!
Holy moly, this might be one of the best videos I've ever seen... No overly drawn out narration, just letting the subject and footage speak for itself, really great stuff!
A barrage of well timed and placed shots, and audio so seamless I didn’t notice a single transition and all of it makes perfect chronological sense as it is presented.
Harrison Ford is definitely someone I like referring to. He's much different from the rest of the celebrities, and he simply seeks the thrill of his roles. I'm not too excited for the new Captain America movie, however, him playing as my favorite version of the Hulk is simply exciting. Especially because he's played more of the lone ranger adventurer in a sense.
Probably one of your best videos! The hero, the story, the editing-everything was great. I really enjoyed the newspaper graphics styled after various movies. Amazing job!
I subscribed after your Corridor Video a few years ago, not because I'm a big fan of this type of content, but because that video was so good despite having a such a young channel. I thought your best work was still to come and I wanted to see how things went. I agree with everyone complimenting you, and saying that this might be your best work so far. The way you're able to capture our attention and tell a clear story with an emotional impact, through primarily just clips and quotes and very little narration feels truly special. I haven't seen enough people compliment your choice of music either, it never feels out of place, forced, or like unnecessary. It really feels like every single aspect of this video is intentional. Truly makes me happy to see how incredible the content you are making has become.
This video feels weird without the subtitles, and but I wanted to say this felt so refreshing on how every scene felt like it's been color-graded it was super clean and sharp even all the old clips from the 1980s - 2010. 10/10 Documentary
I don't know if this is the case for all of your videos, but man the sound is engineered masterfully for headphones. Great work as always- it's a good day when there's a new Dodford video.
What a GREAT watch! Thank you for making this! I’ll always admire that Harrison Ford stayed so true to himself throughout his life despite the criticisms that he’s grumpy and seemingly doesn’t care. In truth, he cares more than most and he shows it in his work. He is a tradesman, and understands that acting is, first and foremost, a trade and a craft. Let’s say you have to choose between two carpenters to build you a house. The first is very outgoing and talkative, peppers you with politeness and big promises, but shows up late, leaves everything a mess each day, causes you to go way over-budget, and has every excuse for why those promises can’t be kept. But always with a smile! The second is impersonal and even standoffish, grunts short answers, doesn’t show interest in your life, but shows up on time, stays within or under budget, and gives you the absolute most for your money. Then packs up and leaves you to admire their work without them in the way. And on to the next job. Who would you say truly cared more about the customer and the work in the end? An actor is hired to show up with their toolkit and use the tools they have gathered over the years. Prepping and doing research, as Ford says he does a lot of, is the highest respect a performer can show the cast, crew and audience.
After watching your videos, I sometimes feel that I should become an actor or so. Edit - I wrote this comment in the beginning of the video and by the end Harrison Ford gave me the answer 27:09 - "As much as you might admire what someone else does, don't try and imitate that. Find your own way." True words.
i seriously hope one day someone picks you up and gives you the unlimited access to create for a larger group of people. your content is incredible, it’s so smoothly told and well executed! your mini documentary’s are able to create such emotion. I’m just really impressed and inspired. Please keep up the good work, it doesn’t go unnoticed!!! This goes without saying but, this video was great too. (as they always are)
Man, first off excellent as always. I know where you stopped made sense in the narrative, but i feel like you short changed his ever evolving sense of self an exploring new things but not at least briefly mentioning attempting comedy. He showed the clip of Shrinking, but really that is a huge departure (his words) from what he's played before. Frankly i think that's not true, so many of his roles have comedic elements that he pulls off flawlessly, but to try a different genre well into his 80s demonstrates his ability. Anyway, like i said where you ended in the native makes sense and it is beautifully done. Harrison Ford created my all time hero, and is the reason why i do what I do. I am an archaeologist, and having a hero on the big screen gave me the confidence as a history loving kid to pursue a strange profession, and 20 years later with my own company succeed in my own way.
What a beautiful way to go against the narrative that Harrison Ford is just a big old grump and just acts for the paycheck. He really loves acting and will keep doing it until he doesn’t. Which doesn’t look like its anytime soon since joining the MCU. Harrison has achieved legend status many times over and I can’t wait to see the next role he does where he inevitably gains it again. Bravo Dodford!
fantastic tribute. At 45, I hadn't realized how much an effect Harrison Ford's acting/characters on my life, from not wanting a 'normal' job, to woodworking, to just wanting to be a regular person. Good stuff.
This is top-notch storytelling and editing. No flashy transitions, no over-the-top animations and graphics, but the effort on getting all the footages and assets, dialogues, audio, and crafted everything into a engaging documentary is worth thousand praises. New sub, damn... Hope you don't abandon quality for quantity, keep it up bro...
Very well made. The pacing and everything you aren't just telling, you're bringing the viewer on an immersive story though his career and life. Amazing video. Watched a lot of videos today trying to find something like this.
Your editing is top notch. The way you build your videos is nothing short of amazing, I love it. Side note: I'm young. I'm not from his generation of fans, but I do know his major roles. Two of my favourites characters of all times are his. Watching this, I just realised how strongly I relate with this man, and this is, for me, very powerful. Thank you for posting this, it means a lot ❤
Years after when somebody would ask for a channel I like from my times, this will be it. Never knew documentary styled video essays could fit in this greatly. Kudos man!
Excellent doc so very well edited and the music is great. The flow is mesmorizing and you have a soothing voice. Liked and subscribed looking forward to seeing your channel grow. I've been a fan of his since I was 5 years old in 1977 and this one teared me up. Solo, Jones and Deckard are all three in the top ten of greatest characters in cinema (at least for me), and he has even more amazing performances beyond those. You gave him an excellent introspect and I appreciate that. Cheers brother!
I was wondering why I was subscribed to this channel and couldn't remember when I did it, but giving it a chance and watching the video, I think I understand why I subscribed. Really love the storytelling, especially the minimal amount of commentary on the necessary parts. It's like the story tells itself.
bruh harrison one of the goats. i promise u movies today have nothing on old movies, same with animation. graveyard of fireflies is one of the greatest films oat people dont put effort into shi anymore. its more than just being carried by visuals back then. you had to really portray a moving story to get any kind of reaction.
Always wanted to be an Actor he’s one of my inspiration but in my 30s maybe the time has passed for me but he’s a legend and will continue to inspire others thank you Harrison Ford for the great work
From working with George Lucas as a carpenter to being a beloved star from Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Blade Runner. Harrison Ford had a great career. (I remember dressing up as Indy for Dial of Destiny almost 2 years ago at my movie theater and a lot of the fans loved my costume especially cracking the whip. At least I don't belong in a museum) Blade Runner 2049 meant a lot to me as when he returned as Deckard, its like putting on your old shoes once again.
Your work is phenomenal 😂. It always feels like a fun mashup of clips that keeps you hooked till the end.With your editing and storyline added in it's such a worthwhile to watch the whole video. I'll always get a pleasant feeling. You have the abilities to be a great filmmaker one day mate.Could you please consider doing a video about Tom Cruise? It could be very interesting to see because he's one of those actors that has similar enigma like the other actors that you cover on your channel.I'd really want to see how you execute it. Cheers mate. Keep on doing what you love 😊
so much unique details to these videos, this one was so heartfelt but one simple thing that always gives it so much character is how you present the writing of jornals like someone peering through them while having lunch
I’m sorry, I’m 1 minute 39 seconds into this video after stumbling across your channel and you have a new subscriber, this video… this channel, is something special.
I've seen alot of your videos about all the actors I admire, appreciate, and have grown up with but as great as they are and the legacy they'll leave behind, none of them can even come close to Harrison Ford. I don't normally get emotional when watching these kinds of documentaries but this one... This one got me. I cried, bro. That last minute really broke me up and realized just how much I love this man as an actor and as a human being. I never evee think about who my favorite actor is but I think this just answered that question and your editing style and storytelling is a factor in that. Every actor leaves a legacy. Harrison Ford IS legacy.
I’m only halfway through, but I can already say that this is one of the best video essays (if not the best) I’ve ever seen-and in a time where that “genre” of youtube has gotten incredibly stale, that’s saying something!
Really well done. I cried! You made me realize how much I appreciate his work. I saw Harrison at the Blade Runner 2049 premiere, which I was lucky enough to attend, and that gave me a similar feeling. Just a guy doing his best to give us another great story. I really like his Cary Grant movies, like Frantic. Just a normal guy caught up in craziness.
I think Harrison always did enjoy being Indiana Jones more than Han Solo. He doesn't seem to care for Star Wars really. I do agree that I enjoy him as Indy better than Han. The Indy movies are my favorite role he has played.
I know the 5th Indiana isnt favoured super high, but I really appreciate it as a proper send off for the actor in the role. Really seems to describe the guy and his career in a solid way imo.
Ha, you can say that again. I saw the pictures of him posing in the kilt for that Scotch campaign and he looks like he's trying to remember whether or not he's registered for his self-assessment. (Also? Great work as always, thank you so much.)
This honestly was so emotional and thats weird for me to say about a youtube video . I'm only 21 so I barely know any of his movies besides the big ones like starwars and raiders but this video really made me feel a connection to I guy I barely know .Harrison seems like a down to earth typa guy I could see myself in him kinda ,he just wants to chill and act in movies then go live on his bigass 800 acre farm .Great video Dodford I don't regret subbing you honestly make GOLD content.Loved the editing especially the ending of the video it all came together beautifully with the music I could literally feel my eyes watering .
Seeing Spoony pop up for a fib was honestly the jumpiestscariest part of this. Felt like I was disoriented in time for a second. Great video, as always.
this might honestly be some of the best editing i have seen on this platform , big kudos dude ! this was great ! this shuld be taught in editing school
You make me fall in love with actors that I never even had on my radars. If I could, and if you could, want my life to be narrated by you for my grandkids when I die.
Amazing editing. Thanks for giving me a tour of my favorite actor. God i remember being a kid thinking Harrison had gotten so old in Crystal skull and now I'm a full on adult and hes still starring in projects every year
The Irony of the actor playing a pirate/rogue telling the hero of the story that, "It ain't like dusting crops, boy", only to buy/own/live on an 800 acre farm in Wyoming...
harrison ford went to my high school. when i was a junior in 1998, my history teacher (who was also harrison's teacher) told the class a very curious story. of course we sked him about what it was like to teach harrison (and hillary rodham too)...but mr. carlson was more interested in relaying a story about harrison's younger brother. apparently his brother was a genius, and extremely talented, and athletic, but consequently lived a high-risk lifestyle at a young age. he died while he was a student at maine east. i don't recall his first name or the details of his death. mr. carlson kept his old desk cordoned off so no one could sit in it, and so that people would ask about it and give mr. carlson a reason to tell this story. i don't think harrison has ever mentioned having a brother or experiencing the trauma of losing a sibling at such a transitional time in his life. there is no record of him having a brother that i could find (at least online), so none of this is verified. but my teacher wouldn't make up a story like that. i believe there's a lot more to harrison's character than people realize.
The “doesn’t care” and “grumpy” get bandied around a lot. But after playing SO many iconic parts, I think his detachment is not only healthy, but the best possible reaction.

Harrison Ford is probably my all time favorite “Hollywood Star.”
The ‘80, ‘81, ‘82 run of Empire Strikes Back, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Blade Runner has to be one of the most incredible runs of all time.
Great work as always, Dod.
Well said
Don't forget Witness. It was a bigger hit than Blade Runner, but seems kinda forgotten now
Also Return of the Jedi in ‘83 and then Temple of Doom in ‘84. Guy was unstoppable in the 80’s!

Indiana jones is sooooooo damn good

Keanu Reeves & Norman Reedus would like a word with you.
A man who rejects stardom but somehow embodies everything we love about a star and not a single thing we reject.

Your videos always inspire some hope in me, this is the best one yet. Fantastic work, nobody does it like dodford
Very well made. The pacing and everything you aren't just telling, you're bringing the viewer on an immersive story though his career and life. Amazing video. Watched a lot of videos today trying to find something like this.
Your editing is top notch. The way you build your videos is nothing short of amazing, I love it.
Side note: I'm young. I'm not from his generation of fans, but I do know his major roles. Two of my favourites characters of all times are his. Watching this, I just realised how strongly I relate with this man, and this is, for me, very powerful. Thank you for posting this, it means a lot ❤
You are one of the creators where I hit like before even watching because I just KNOW it will be fantastic
Years after when somebody would ask for a channel I like from my times, this will be it. Never knew documentary styled video essays could fit in this greatly. Kudos man!
Excellent doc so very well edited and the music is great. The flow is mesmorizing and you have a soothing voice. Liked and subscribed looking forward to seeing your channel grow. I've been a fan of his since I was 5 years old in 1977 and this one teared me up. Solo, Jones and Deckard are all three in the top ten of greatest characters in cinema (at least for me), and he has even more amazing performances beyond those. You gave him an excellent introspect and I appreciate that. Cheers brother!
Absolutely beautiful video and incredibly well made, thank you for the pleasant viewing experience!
These are the videos i wait for the most on UA-cam.
A Dodford day is always a good day
you need more press Dogford, these videos aren't easy to make.. I can see the love and effort you put into these videos. Keep it up
I was wondering why I was subscribed to this channel and couldn't remember when I did it, but giving it a chance and watching the video, I think I understand why I subscribed. Really love the storytelling, especially the minimal amount of commentary on the necessary parts. It's like the story tells itself.
This was exceptionally edited to tell a story. I really enjoyed how it shifted from beginning to end in tone, and was also quite informative.
I may or may not have been moved to tears by a documentary on an actor I've never watched. God damn it Dodford
You must be super young… good for you.
bruh harrison one of the goats. i promise u movies today have nothing on old movies, same with animation. graveyard of fireflies is one of the greatest films oat people dont put effort into shi anymore. its more than just being carried by visuals back then. you had to really portray a moving story to get any kind of reaction.
The funny thing is that the video shows, that in the end, Ford does care.
And we love him particularly for that gruff “I don’t give a shit” attitude.
Always wanted to be an Actor he’s one of my inspiration but in my 30s maybe the time has passed for me but he’s a legend and will continue to inspire others thank you Harrison Ford for the great work
You can try acting at any age! I’m same as you, in community theatre :) go for it! 😊
From working with George Lucas as a carpenter to being a beloved star from Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Blade Runner. Harrison Ford had a great career. (I remember dressing up as Indy for Dial of Destiny almost 2 years ago at my movie theater and a lot of the fans loved my costume especially cracking the whip. At least I don't belong in a museum) Blade Runner 2049 meant a lot to me as when he returned as Deckard, its like putting on your old shoes once again.
The editing of this video is incredibly good
Dude has been in several aviation crashes that he piloted and still flies. Legendary levels of unbothered.
that ending hits real good, great video as always! nothing like watching the reluctant star, for 25min, become the grateful hero
he never quit acting for 8 years. He even played a minor role in Coppola's movie 'The Conversation' during his stint as a carpenter
Your work is phenomenal 😂. It always feels like a fun mashup of clips that keeps you hooked till the end.With your editing and storyline added in it's such a worthwhile to watch the whole video. I'll always get a pleasant feeling. You have the abilities to be a great filmmaker one day mate.Could you please consider doing a video about Tom Cruise? It could be very interesting to see because he's one of those actors that has similar enigma like the other actors that you cover on your channel.I'd really want to see how you execute it. Cheers mate. Keep on doing what you love 😊
so much unique details to these videos, this one was so heartfelt but one simple thing that always gives it so much character is how you present the writing of jornals like someone peering through them while having lunch
Man out here making a documentary that puts most production studio ones to shame. This was so well done!
I wish every day was a new Dodford day
I’m sorry, I’m 1 minute 39 seconds into this video after stumbling across your channel and you have a new subscriber, this video… this channel, is something special.
I've seen alot of your videos about all the actors I admire, appreciate, and have grown up with but as great as they are and the legacy they'll leave behind, none of them can even come close to Harrison Ford. I don't normally get emotional when watching these kinds of documentaries but this one... This one got me. I cried, bro. That last minute really broke me up and realized just how much I love this man as an actor and as a human being. I never evee think about who my favorite actor is but I think this just answered that question and your editing style and storytelling is a factor in that. Every actor leaves a legacy. Harrison Ford IS legacy.
i’m going through my harrison ford phase and look who decides to post
I am only writing this comment to keep a reminder for 00:20 that has to be one of the funniest things, ever. I never even knew it existed!
I’m only halfway through, but I can already say that this is one of the best video essays (if not the best) I’ve ever seen-and in a time where that “genre” of youtube has gotten incredibly stale, that’s saying something!
He plays some of the most iconic characters in cinema and he's just chill, I love it.
Really well done. I cried! You made me realize how much I appreciate his work. I saw Harrison at the Blade Runner 2049 premiere, which I was lucky enough to attend, and that gave me a similar feeling. Just a guy doing his best to give us another great story. I really like his Cary Grant movies, like Frantic. Just a normal guy caught up in craziness.
I think Harrison always did enjoy being Indiana Jones more than Han Solo. He doesn't seem to care for Star Wars really. I do agree that I enjoy him as Indy better than Han. The Indy movies are my favorite role he has played.
Your content elevates this platform, thank you. Your approach to storytelling through editing are truly inspirational.
I know the 5th Indiana isnt favoured super high, but I really appreciate it as a proper send off for the actor in the role. Really seems to describe the guy and his career in a solid way imo.
Ha, you can say that again. I saw the pictures of him posing in the kilt for that Scotch campaign and he looks like he's trying to remember whether or not he's registered for his self-assessment. (Also? Great work as always, thank you so much.)
This honestly was so emotional and thats weird for me to say about a youtube video . I'm only 21 so I barely know any of his movies besides the big ones like starwars and raiders but this video really made me feel a connection to I guy I barely know .Harrison seems like a down to earth typa guy I could see myself in him kinda ,he just wants to chill and act in movies then go live on his bigass 800 acre farm .Great video Dodford I don't regret subbing you honestly make GOLD content.Loved the editing especially the ending of the video it all came together beautifully with the music I could literally feel my eyes watering .
Seeing Spoony pop up for a fib was honestly the jumpiestscariest part of this. Felt like I was disoriented in time for a second. Great video, as always.
Wasn't sure I was gonna sit through all 28 mins in one go, but sure enough your unbelievable story telling hooked me once again. Great job!
this might honestly be some of the best editing i have seen on this platform , big kudos dude ! this was great ! this shuld be taught in editing school
the ending made me tear up. Excellent pacing on the editing :)
Thank heavens for the algorithm to recommend this my way. This left me teary-eyed. Good narration and awesome choice of music. Liked and subscribed!
I like these longer videos on in the background while I clean, or build a puzzle. For this one I had to stop and sit and watch. Well done.
Captain Midnight being in there is awesome
Wow this was so amazing, the editing was incredible! Thank you for this.
Excellent music choice and editing! One I entered the flow state I couldn't look away :)
Wow what a great piece of film making. It's amazing what can be done with archival footage and just a little bit of narration.
Your ability to tell touching stories just through great editing with almost no voiceover is truly remarkable.
You make me fall in love with actors that I never even had on my radars. If I could, and if you could, want my life to be narrated by you for my grandkids when I die.
Amazing editing. Thanks for giving me a tour of my favorite actor. God i remember being a kid thinking Harrison had gotten so old in Crystal skull and now I'm a full on adult and hes still starring in projects every year
Wow. What an amazing documentary. The editing is first class. You've got talent, sir.
The Irony of the actor playing a pirate/rogue telling the hero of the story that, "It ain't like dusting crops, boy", only to buy/own/live on an 800 acre farm in Wyoming...
Yea, mind-blowing coincidence…
Such a well made video, you must have hunted for these clips for months to make this
your videos have a magic to them that is so rare on youtube. thank you
I always respect how you never shit on the celebrities, you just showcase them for who they are.
The end of this documentary made me a bit emotional. Fantastic work. Instant subscribe.
Great video once again! Teared up a bit…
harrison ford went to my high school. when i was a junior in 1998, my history teacher (who was also harrison's teacher) told the class a very curious story. of course we sked him about what it was like to teach harrison (and hillary rodham too)...but mr. carlson was more interested in relaying a story about harrison's younger brother. apparently his brother was a genius, and extremely talented, and athletic, but consequently lived a high-risk lifestyle at a young age. he died while he was a student at maine east. i don't recall his first name or the details of his death. mr. carlson kept his old desk cordoned off so no one could sit in it, and so that people would ask about it and give mr. carlson a reason to tell this story. i don't think harrison has ever mentioned having a brother or experiencing the trauma of losing a sibling at such a transitional time in his life. there is no record of him having a brother that i could find (at least online), so none of this is verified. but my teacher wouldn't make up a story like that. i believe there's a lot more to harrison's character than people realize.
Harrison Ford's brother is alive and well.
Death records are public.
This event did not take place, sorry.
You should have more subs, this was so well put together. Going to go binge your other stuff!
