Harrison Ford (born July 13, 1942) is an American
film actor and producer. He is famous for his
performances as Han Solo in the original Star Wars
trilogy and as the title character of the Indiana
Jones film series. Ford is also known for his roles
as Rick Deckard in Blade Runner, John Book in
Witness and Jack Ryan in Patriot Games and Clear and
Present Danger. His career has spanned six decades
and includes roles in several Hollywood
blockbusters, including Presumed Innocent, The
Fugitive, Air Force One, and What Lies Beneath. At
one point, four of the top six box-office hits of
all time included one of his roles.[1] Five of his
films have been inducted into the National Film
Registry.
In 1997, Ford was ranked No. 1 in
Empire's "The Top 100 Movie Stars of All Time" list. As of July 2008, the United
States domestic box office grosses of Ford's films total almost US$3.4 billion,
with worldwide grosses surpassing $6 billion, making Ford the third highest
grossing U.S. domestic box-office star.[2] Ford is the husband of actress

Early
life
Ford was born July 13, 1942, at
Chicago, Illinois' Swedish Covenant Hospital.[3] His mother, Dorothy (née Dora
Nidelman), was a homemaker and former radio actress, and his father, Christopher
Ford (born John William Ford), was an advertising executive and a former
actor.[4][5] A younger brother, Terence, was born in 1945. Ford's paternal
grandparents, John Fitzgerald Ford and Florence Veronica Niehaus, were of Irish
Catholic and German descent, respectively.[4] Ford's maternal grandparents,
Harry Nidelman and Anna Lifschutz, were Jewish immigrants from Minsk, Belarus
(at that time a part of the Russian Empire).[4] When asked in which religion he
and his brother were raised, Ford has jokingly responded, "Democrat,"[6] "to be
liberals of every stripe".[7] He has also said that he feels "Irish as a person,
but I feel Jewish as an actor."[8][9]
Ford was active in the Boy Scouts
of America, and achieved its second-highest rank, Life Scout. He worked at
Napowan Adventure Base Scout camp as a counselor for the Reptile Study merit
badge. Because of this, he and Eagle Scout director Steven Spielberg later
decided to depict the young Indiana Jones as a Life Scout in the film Indiana
Jones and the Last Crusade. They also jokingly reversed Ford's knowledge of
reptiles into Jones' fear of snakes.
In 1960, Ford graduated from Maine
East High School in Park Ridge, Illinois. His was the first student voice
broadcast on his high school's new radio station, WMTH,[8] and he was its first
sportscaster during his senior year (1959–1960). He attended Ripon College in
Wisconsin,[8] where he was a member of the Sigma Nu fraternity. He took a drama
class in the final quarter of his senior year to get over his shyness.[10] Ford,
a self-described "late bloomer," became fascinated with acting.
Early
career
In 1964, Ford traveled to Los
Angeles, California to apply for a job in radio voice-overs. He did not get it,
but stayed in California and eventually signed a $150 a week contract with
Columbia Pictures' New Talent program, playing bit roles in films. His first
known part was an uncredited role as a bellhop in Dead Heat on a Merry-Go-Round
(1966). There is little record of his non-speaking roles (or "extra" work) in
film. Ford was at the bottom of the hiring list, having offended producer Jerry
Tokovsky after he played a bellboy in the feature. He was told by Tokovsky that
when actor Tony Curtis delivered a bag of groceries, he did it like a star. Ford
felt his job was to act like a bellboy.[11] Ford managed to secure other roles
in movies, such as The Long Ride Home, starring Glenn Ford, George Hamilton and
Inger Stevens.
His speaking roles continued next
with Luv (1967), though he was still uncredited. He was finally credited as
"Harrison J. Ford" in the 1967 Western film, A Time for Killing, but the "J" did
not stand for anything, since he has no middle name. It was added to avoid
confusion with a silent film actor named Harrison Ford, who appeared in more
than 80 films between 1915 and 1932, and died in 1957. Ford later said that he
was unaware of the existence of the earlier Harrison Ford until he came upon a
star with his own name on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Ford soon dropped the "J"
and worked for Universal Studios, playing minor roles in many television series
throughout the late 1960s and early 1970s, including Gunsmoke, Ironside, The
Virginian, The F.B.I., Love, American Style, and Kung Fu. He appeared in the
western Journey to Shiloh (1968) and had an uncredited, non-speaking role in
Michelangelo Antonioni's 1970 film Zabriskie Point, as an arrested student
protester. Not happy with the roles being offered to him, Ford became a
self-taught professional carpenter[8] to support his then-wife and two small
sons. While working as a carpenter, he became a stagehand for the popular rock
band The Doors. He also built a sun deck for actress Sally Kellerman and a
recording studio for Brazilian band leader Sérgio Mendes.
He was then hired to build cabinets
at the home of director George Lucas, who subsequently cast him in a pivotal
supporting role for his film American Graffiti (1973).[8] Ford's relationship
with Lucas affected his career later on. After director Francis Ford Coppola's
film The Godfather was a success, he hired Ford to expand his office and gave
him small roles in his next two films, The Conversation (1974) and Apocalypse
Now (1979); amusingly, in the latter film he played a smarmy officer named "G.
Lucas."
Milestone franchises
Star
Wars
Ford's carpentry work eventually
landed him his first starring film role. In 1975, George Lucas hired him to read
lines for actors auditioning for parts in his space opera Star Wars (1977).
Lucas was eventually won over by Ford's portrayal, and cast him as Han Solo.[12]
Star Wars became one of the most successful movies of all time worldwide, and
established Ford as a superstar.[8] He went on to star in the
similarly-successful Star Wars sequels, The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and
Return of the Jedi (1983), as well as The Star Wars Holiday Special (1978). Ford
wanted Lucas to kill off Han Solo at the end of either sequel, saying, "That
would have given the whole film a bottom," but Lucas refused.[13]
Indiana
Jones
The type of fedora worn by Ford in
the Indiana Jones films
Ford's status as a leading actor
was solidified when he starred as Indiana Jones in the George Lucas/Steven
Spielberg collaboration Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981).[8] Though Spielberg was
interested in casting Ford in the lead role from the start, Lucas was not, due
to having already worked with the actor in American Graffiti and Star Wars, but
he eventually relented after Tom Selleck was unable to accept.[14][8] Ford
reprised the role for the prequel Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)
and the sequel Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989).[8] He later returned
to his role as Indiana Jones again for a 1993 episode of the television series
The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, and for the fourth film, Indiana Jones and
the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008).
Other
film work
Ford has been in numerous other
films, including Heroes (1977), Force 10 from Navarone (1978), and Hanover
Street (1979). Ford also co-starred alongside Gene Wilder in the buddy-Western
The Frisco Kid (1979), playing a bank robber with a heart of gold. He then
starred as Rick Deckard in Ridley Scott's cult sci-fi classic Blade Runner
(1982), and in a number of dramatic-action films: Peter Weir's Witness (1985)
and The Mosquito Coast (1986), and Roman Polanski's Frantic (1988).[8]
The 1990s brought Ford the role of
Jack Ryan in Tom Clancy's Patriot Games (1992) and Clear and Present Danger
(1994), as well as leading roles in Alan Pakula's Presumed Innocent (1990) and
The Devil's Own (1997), Andrew Davis' The Fugitive (1993), Sydney Pollack's
remake of Sabrina (1995), and Wolfgang Petersen's Air Force One (1997). Ford
also played straight dramatic roles, including an adulterous husband in both
Presumed Innocent (1990) and What Lies Beneath (2000), and a recovering amnesiac
in Mike Nichols' Regarding Henry (1991).[8]
Many of Ford's major film roles
came to him by default through unusual circumstances: he won the role of Han
Solo while reading lines for other actors, was cast as Indiana Jones because Tom
Selleck was not available, and took the role of Jack Ryan supposedly due to Alec
Baldwin's fee demands, although Baldwin disputes this (Baldwin had previously
played the role in The Hunt for Red October).
Recent
roles
Starting in the late 1990s, Ford
appeared in several critically derided and commercially disappointing movies,
including Six Days Seven Nights (1998), Random Hearts (1999), K-19: The
Widowmaker (2002), Hollywood Homicide (2003), Firewall (2006), and Extraordinary
Measures (2010). One exception was 2000's What Lies Beneath, which grossed over
$155 million in the United States and $291 million worldwide.[15]
In 2004, Ford declined a chance to
star in the thriller Syriana, later commenting that "I didn't feel strongly
enough about the truth of the material and I think I made a mistake."[16] The
role eventually went to George Clooney, who won an Oscar and a Golden Globe for
his work. Prior to that, he had passed on a role in another Stephen
Gaghan-written role, Robert Wakefield in Traffic. That role went to Michael
Douglas.
In 2008, Ford enjoyed success with
the release of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, another
collaboration between George Lucas and Steven Spielberg. The film received
generally positive reviews and was the second highest-grossing film worldwide in
2008.[17] He later said he would like to star in another sequel, "...if it
didn't take another 20 years to digest."[18]
Other 2008 work included Crossing
Over, directed by Wayne Kramer. In the film, he plays an immigrations officer,
working alongside Ashley Judd and Ray Liotta.[19][20] He also narrated a feature
documentary film about the Dalai Lama entitled Dalai Lama Renaissance.[21]
Ford filmed the medical drama
Extraordinary Measures[22] in 2009 in Portland, Oregon. Released January 22,
2010, the film also starred Brendan Fraser and Alan Ruck. Also in 2010, he
co-starred in the film Morning Glory, along with Patrick Wilson, Rachel McAdams,
and Diane Keaton.[23]
He has expressed interest in
returning to the Jack Ryan franchise.[24]
In July 2011, Ford starred
alongside Daniel Craig and Olivia Wilde in the science fiction Western film
Cowboys & Aliens. Ford portrays Colonel Woodrow Dolarhyde, a character who rules
the town of Absolution with an iron fist.[25] Ford and executive producer Steven
Spielberg did not want to have the character wear a cowboy hat because they were
worried that it would remind audiences of the Indiana Jones films.[26] Ford
described his character as a "grumpy old man."[27] To promote the film, Ford
made his first appearance at the San Diego Comic-Con International, being led
onstage in handcuffs by two security guards, giving the audience the impression
that he was being dragged to Comic-Con against his will. However, the actor's
arrival involuntarily referred to an actual assault that occurred shortly before
the presentation of the film, after which the alleged assailant was taken away
in handcuffs. Ford received a long standing ovation as he joined his co-stars,
and, apparently surprised by the warm welcome, told the audience, "I just wanted
to make a living as an actor. I didn't know about this."[28][29][30][31][32]
In 2011, Ford starred in Japanese
commercials advertising the video game Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception for the
PlayStation 3. In it, Ford is seen playing the game whilst appearing amazed and
praising it.[33]
Personal life
Marriages and family
Ford is one of Hollywood's most
private actors,[8] guarding his personal life. He has two sons (Benjamin and
Willard) with his first wife, Mary Marquardt, as well as two children (Malcolm
and Georgia) with his second wife, screenwriter Melissa Mathison.
Ford began dating actress Calista
Flockhart after meeting at the 2002 Golden Globes, and together they are parents
to her adopted son, Liam. Ford proposed to Flockhart over Valentine's Day
weekend in 2009.[34] They married on June 15, 2010, in Santa Fe, New Mexico,
where Ford was filming Cowboys and Aliens.[35]
Ford has three grandchildren: Eliel
(born 1993), Giuliana (born 1997), and Ethan (born 2000).[36] Son Benjamin owns
Ford's Filling Station, a gastro pub in Culver City, California.[37][38][39][40]
Son Willard is co-owner of Ford & Ching showroom, as well as Ludwig Clothing
company.[41]
Chin
and back injury
Ford injured his chin at the age of
20 when his car, a Volvo 544, hit a telephone pole in Northern
California;[citation needed] the scar is visible in his films. An explanation
for it on film is offered in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, when a young
Indiana Jones cuts his chin while attempting to crack a whip to ward off a lion.
In Working Girl, Ford's character explains that it happened when he passed out
and hit his chin on the toilet when a college girlfriend was piercing his ear.
In June 1983, at age 40, during the filming of Indiana Jones and the Temple of
Doom in London, he herniated a disc in his back, forcing him to fly back to Los
Angeles for an operation. He returned six weeks later.[42
Aviation
Ford is a private pilot of both
fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters,[8] and owns an 800-acre (3.2 km2) ranch in
Jackson, Wyoming, approximately half of which he has donated as a nature
reserve. On several occasions, Ford has personally provided emergency helicopter
services at the behest of local authorities, in one instance rescuing a hiker
overcome by dehydration.[43]
Ford began flight training in the
1960s at Wild Rose Airport in Wisconsin, flying in a Piper PA-22 Tri-Pacer, but
at $15 an hour he was unable to continue the training.[44] In the mid-1990s, he
bought a used Gulfstream II and asked one of his pilots, Terry Bender, to give
him flying lessons. They started flying a Cessna 182 out of Jackson, Wyoming,
later switching to Teterboro, New Jersey, flying a Cessna 206, the aircraft he
soloed in.[45]
On October 23, 1999, Harrison Ford
was involved in the crash of a Bell 206L4 LongRanger helicopter (N36R). The NTSB
accident report states that Ford was piloting the aircraft over the Lake Piru
riverbed near Santa Clarita, California, on a routine training flight. While
making his second attempt at an autorotation with powered recovery Ford allowed
the aircraft's altitude to drop to 150–200 feet before beginning power up. As a
result the aircraft was unable to recover power before hitting the ground. The
aircraft landed hard and began skidding forward in the loose gravel before one
of its skids struck a partially embedded log and flipped onto its side. Neither
Ford nor the instructor pilot suffered any injuries, though the helicopter was
seriously damaged. When asked about the incident by fellow pilot James Lipton in
an interview on the TV show Inside the Actor's Studio Ford replied, "I broke
it."[46]
Ford keeps his aircraft at Santa
Monica Airport,[47] though the Bell 407 is often kept and flown in Jackson,
Wyoming, and has been used by the actor in two mountain rescues during the
actor's assigned duty time assisting the Teton County Search and Rescue. On one
of the rescues Ford recovered a hiker who had become lost and disoriented. She
boarded Ford's Bell 407 and promptly vomited into one of the rescuers' caps,
unaware of who the pilot was until much later; "I can't believe I barfed in
Harrison Ford's helicopter!" she said later.[48]
Ford flies his de Havilland Canada
DHC-2 Beaver (N28S) more than any of his other aircraft, and although he
dislikes showing favoritism, he has repeatedly stated that he likes this
aircraft and the sound of its Pratt & Whitney R-985 radial engine.[49] Ford
first encountered the Beaver while filming Six Days Seven Nights, and soon
purchased one.[citation needed] Kenmore Air in Kenmore, Washington, restored
Ford's yellow and green Beaver — a junked former U.S. military aircraft — with
updated avionics and an upgraded engine. According to Ford, it had been flown in
the CIA's Air America operations, and was riddled with bullet holes that had to
be patched up.[50] He uses it regularly for impromptu fly-ins at remote airports
and bush strips, as well as gatherings with other Beaver owners and
pilots.[citation needed]
In March 2004, Ford officially
became chairman of the Young Eagles program of the Experimental Aircraft
Association (EAA). Ford was asked to take the position by Greg Anderson, Senior
Vice President of the EAA at the time, to replace General Charles "Chuck" Yeager
who was vacating the post that he had held for many years. Ford at first was
hesitant, but later accepted the offer and has made appearances with the Young
Eagles at the EAA AirVenture Oshkosh gathering at Oshkosh, Wisconsin for two
years. In July 2005, at the gathering in Oshkosh Ford agreed to accept the
position for another two years. Ford has flown over 280 children as part of the
Young Eagles program, usually in his DHC-2 Beaver, which can seat the actor and
five children. Ford is involved with the EAA chapter in Driggs, Idaho, just over
the mountains from Jackson, Wyoming.
As of 2009, Ford appears in Web
advertisements for General Aviation Serves America, a campaign by advocacy group
AOPA (Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association).[51]
Ford is an Honorary Board Member of
the humanitarian aviation organization Wings of Hope.[52]
He has also flown as an invited VIP
with the Blue Angels.[53]

Activism
Environmental causes
Ford sits on the board of directors
of Conservation International.[citation needed] He received the Jules Verne
Spirit of Nature Award for his ongoing work in preservation of the planet.[54]
In 1993, the arachnologist Norman
Platnick named a new species of spider Calponia harrisonfordi, and in 2002, the
entomologist Edward O. Wilson named a new ant species Pheidole harrisonfordi (in
recognition of Harrison's work as Vice Chairman of Conservation
International).[55]
Since 1992, Ford has lent his voice
to a series of public service messages promoting environmental involvement for
EarthShare, an American federation of environmental and conservation
charities.[citation needed]
Political views
Like his parents, Ford is a
lifelong Democrat,[56] and a close friend of former President Bill Clinton.[19]
On September 7, 1995, Ford
testified before the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee in support of the
Dalai Lama and an independent Tibet, and was banned thereafter by the Chinese
government from entering Tibet and China.[57][58] In 2008, he narrated the
documentary Dalai Lama Renaissance.[citation needed]
In 2003, he publicly condemned the
Iraq War and called for "regime change" in the United States. He also criticized
Hollywood for making violent movies, and called for more gun control in the
United States.[59] He opposed the recall of Californian Governor Gray Davis, and
stated in an interview that replacing Davis with Arnold Schwarzenegger would be
a mistake.[60]
Archaeology
Following on his success portraying
the archaeologist Indiana Jones, Ford also plays a part in supporting the work
of professional archaeologists. He serves as a General Trustee[61] on the
Governing Board of the Archaeological Institute of America (AIA), North
America's oldest and largest organization devoted to the world of archaeology.
Ford assists them in their mission of increasing public awareness of archaeology
and preventing looting and the illegal antiquities trade.
Community work
Ford volunteered as a food server.
On November 21, 2007, Ford and other celebrities, including Kirk Douglas, Nia
Long and Calista Flockhart, helped serve hot meals to the homeless at the annual
Thanksgiving feast at the Los Angeles Mission.[62]
Awards
Ford received a nomination for the
Academy Award for Best Actor for Witness, for which he also received "Best
Actor" BAFTA and Golden Globe nominations. He received the Cecil B. DeMille
Award at the 2002 Golden Globe Awards and on June 2, 2003, he received a star on
the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He has received three additional "Best Actor" Golden
Globe nominations for The Mosquito Coast, The Fugitive and Sabrina.
In 2006, Ford was awarded the Jules
Verne Spirit of Nature Award for his work in nature and wildlife preservation.
The ceremony took place at the historic Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles,
California.[54]
He received the first ever Hero
Award for his many iconic roles, including Han Solo and Indiana Jones, at the
2007 Scream Awards, and in 2008, the Spike TV's Guy's Choice Award for Brass
Balls.[63][64]
Harrison Ford received the AFI Life
Achievement Award in 2000.[65]
