Harrison Ford is an American film actor and producer. Harrison Ford 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. Harrison 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, Harrison 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 Harrison Ford's films total over US$3.5 billion, with worldwide grosses surpassing $6 billion, making Harrison Ford the third highest grossing U.S. domestic box-office star.[2] Harrison Ford is the husband of actress Calista Flockhart.

Early life

Harrison 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 Harrison Ford (born John William Harrison Ford), was an advertising executive and a former actor.[4][5] A younger brother, Terence, was born in 1945. Harrison Ford's paternal grandparents, John Fitzgerald Harrison Ford and Florence Veronica Niehaus, were of Irish Catholic and German descent, respectively.[4] Harrison 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 Harrison Ford and his brother were raised, Harrison Ford has jokingly responded, "Democrat,"[6] "to be liberals of every stripe".[7] In a television interview shown in August 2000, when asked about what influence his Irish Catholic and Russian Jewish ancestry may have had on his life as a person and as an artist, Harrison Ford humorously stated "As a man I've always felt Irish, as an actor I've always felt Jewish."[8][9]

Harrison Ford was active in the Boy Scouts of America, and achieved its second-highest rank, Life Scout. Harrison Ford worked at Napowan Adventure Base Scout camp as a counselor for the Reptile Study merit badge. Because of this, Harrison Ford 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 Harrison Ford's knowledge of reptiles into Jones' fear of snakes.

In 1960, Harrison 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 Harrison Ford was its first sportscaster during his senior year (1959–1960). Harrison Ford attended Ripon College in Wisconsin,[8] where Harrison Ford was a member of the Sigma Nu fraternity. Harrison Ford took a drama class in the final quarter of his senior year to get over his shyness.[10] Harrison Ford, a self-described "late bloomer," became fascinated with acting.

Early career

In 1964, Harrison Ford traveled to Los Angeles, California to apply for a job in radio voice-overs. Harrison Ford 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. Harrison Ford was at the bottom of the hiring list, having offended producer Jerry Tokovsky after Harrison Ford played a bellboy in the feature. Harrison Ford was told by Tokovsky that when actor Tony Curtis delivered a bag of groceries, Harrison Ford did it like a movie star; Harrison Ford felt his job was to act like a bellboy.[11] Harrison Ford managed to secure other roles in movies, such as A Time for Killing (The Long Ride Home), starring Glenn Harrison Ford, George Hamilton and Inger Stevens.

His speaking roles continued next with Luv (1967), though Harrison Ford was still uncredited. Harrison Ford was finally credited as "Harrison J. Harrison Ford" in the 1967 Western film, A Time for Killing, but the "J" did not stand for anything, since Harrison Ford 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. Harrison Ford later said that Harrison Ford was unaware of the existence of the earlier Harrison Ford until Harrison Ford came upon a star with his own name on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Harrison 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. Harrison Ford 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, Harrison Ford became a self-taught professional carpenter[8] to support his then-wife and two small sons. While working as a carpenter, Harrison Ford became a stagehand for the popular rock band The Doors. Harrison Ford also built a sun deck for actress Sally Kellerman and a recording studio for Brazilian band leader Sérgio Mendes.

Harrison Ford 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] Harrison Ford's relationship with Lucas affected his career later on. After director Francis Harrison Ford Coppola's film The Godfather was a success, Harrison Ford hired Harrison Ford to expand his office and gave him small roles in his next two films, The Conversation (1974) and Apocalypse Now (1979); in the latter film Harrison Ford played a smarmy officer named "G. Lucas."

Milestone franchises

Star Wars

Harrison 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 Star Wars (1977). Lucas was eventually won over by Harrison 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 Harrison Ford as a superstar.[8] Harrison Ford 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). Harrison 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]

Lost Ark

Harrison Ford's status as a leading actor was solidified when Harrison Ford starred as Indiana Jones in the George Lucas/Steven Spielberg collaboration Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981).[8] Though Spielberg was interested in casting Harrison 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 Harrison Ford eventually relented after Tom Selleck was unable to accept.[14][8] Harrison 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] Harrison Ford 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

Harrison Ford has been in numerous other films, including Heroes (1977), Force 10 from Navarone (1978), and Hanover Street (1979). Harrison Ford also co-starred alongside Gene Wilder in the buddy-Western The Frisco Kid (1979), playing a bank robber with a heart of gold. Harrison Ford 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 Harrison 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). Harrison 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 Harrison Ford's major film roles came to him by default through unusual circumstances: Harrison Ford 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

Harrison Ford in 2007

Starting in the late 1990s, Harrison 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, Harrison 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, Harrison Ford had passed on a role in another Stephen Gaghan-written role, Robert Wakefield in Traffic. That role went to Michael Douglas.

In 2008, Harrison 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] Harrison Ford later said Harrison Ford 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, Harrison Ford plays an immigrations officer, working alongside Ashley Judd and Ray Liotta.[19][20] Harrison Ford also narrated a feature documentary film about the Dalai Lama entitled Dalai Lama Renaissance.[21]
Harrison Ford at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival

Harrison 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, Harrison Ford co-starred in the film Morning Glory, along with Patrick Wilson, Rachel McAdams, and Diane Keaton.[23]

Harrison Ford has expressed interest in returning to the Jack Ryan franchise.[24]

In July 2011, Harrison Ford starred alongside Daniel Craig and Olivia Wilde in the science fiction Western film Cowboys & Aliens. Harrison Ford portrays Colonel Woodrow Dolarhyde, a character who rules the town of Absolution with an iron fist.[25] Harrison 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] Harrison Ford described his character as a "grumpy old man."[27] To promote the film, Harrison 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 Harrison Ford 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. Harrison Ford received a long standing ovation as Harrison Ford 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, Harrison Ford starred in Japanese commercials advertising the video game Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception for the PlayStation 3. In it, Harrison Ford can be seen playing the game whilst appearing amazed and praising it.[33]

As of April 2012, Harrison Ford was said to be in late-stage negotiations to join the corporate espionage thriller Paranoia. The movie already has Hunger Games star Liam Hemsworth confirmed as the lead while Gary Oldman is also in final talks to star in a supporting role. Directed by Robert Luketic, Paranoia takes place in the fast-paced world of business and involves a duel between telecom giants. Production is scheduled to begin this summer.[34]
Personal life
Marriages and family
Harrison Ford with wife Calista Flockhart at the 2009 Deauville American Film Festival

Harrison Ford is one of Hollywood's most private actors,[8] guarding his personal life. Harrison Ford 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.

Harrison Ford began dating actress Calista Flockhart after meeting at the 2002 Golden Globes, and together they are parents to her adopted son, Liam. Harrison Ford proposed to Flockhart over Valentine's Day weekend in 2009.[35] They married on June 15, 2010, in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where Harrison Ford was filming Cowboys & Aliens.[36]

Harrison Ford has three grandchildren: Eliel (born 1993), Giuliana (born 1997), and Ethan (born 2000).[37] Son Benjamin owns Harrison Ford's Filling Station, a gastro pub in Culver City, California.[38][39][40][41] Son Willard is co-owner of Harrison Ford & Ching showroom, as well as Ludwig Clothing company.[42]
Chin and back injury

Harrison 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, Harrison Ford's character explains that it happened when Harrison Ford 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, Harrison Ford herniated a disc in his back, forcing him to fly back to Los Angeles for an operation. Harrison Ford returned six weeks later.[43]

Aviation

Harrison 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 Harrison Ford has donated as a nature reserve. On several occasions, Harrison Ford has personally provided emergency helicopter services at the behest of local authorities, in one instance rescuing a hiker overcome by dehydration.[44]

Harrison Ford began flight training in the 1960s at Wild Rose Idlewild Airport in Wild Rose, Wisconsin, flying in a Piper PA-22 Tri-Pacer, but at $15 an hour Harrison Ford was unable to continue the training.[45] In the mid-1990s, Harrison Ford 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 Harrison Ford soloed in.[46]

On October 23, 1999, Harrison Ford was involved in the crash of a Bell 206L4 LongRanger helicopter (N36R). The NTSB accident report states that Harrison 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 Harrison 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 Harrison 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 Harrison Ford replied, "I broke it."[47]

Harrison Ford keeps his aircraft at Santa Monica Airport,[48] 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 Harrison Ford recovered a hiker who had become lost and disoriented. She boarded Harrison 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.[49]

Harrison Ford flies his de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver (N28S) more than any of his other aircraft, and although Harrison Ford dislikes showing favoritism, Harrison Ford has repeatedly stated that Harrison Ford likes this aircraft and the sound of its Pratt & Whitney R-985 radial engine.[50] Harrison Ford first encountered the Beaver while filming Six Days Seven Nights, and soon purchased one.[citation needed] Kenmore Air in Kenmore, Washington, restored Harrison Ford's yellow and green Beaver — a junked former U.S. military aircraft — with updated avionics and an upgraded engine. According to Harrison Ford, it had been flown in the CIA's Air America operations, and was riddled with bullet holes that had to be patched up.[51] Harrison Ford 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, Harrison Ford officially became chairman of the Young Eagles program of the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA). Harrison 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 Harrison Ford had held for many years. Harrison 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 Harrison Ford agreed to accept the position for another two years. Harrison 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. Harrison Ford is involved with the EAA chapter in Driggs, Idaho, just over the mountains from Jackson, Wyoming.

As of 2009, Harrison Ford appears in Web advertisements for General Aviation Serves America, a campaign by advocacy group AOPA (Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association).[52]

"Lucas arrived on June 20, [1983]. "Harrison was in really terrible pain," he says. "He was on the set lying on a gurney. They would lift him up and he'd walk through his scenes, and they'd get him back on the bed." That same day Ford filmed his fight with the Thuggee assassin in Indy's suite on Stage 3. "Harrison had to roll backward on top of the guy," Spielberg says. "At that moment his back herniated and Harrison let out a call for help.""
