Harrison Ford Biography

If Harrison Ford isn't the world's most successful movie star, he definitely comes close. He's played some of cinema's most iconic heroes several times over in a career that's earned some $550 billion worldwide. After his first real film role in George Lucas' American Graffiti in 1973, his career floundered and he supplemented his meager acting career with carpentry work — until Lucas hired him again for Star Wars. He went on to steal the show as Han Solo in the infamous trilogy, made the moniker Indiana Jones a household name and defined 1990s intrigue as CIA agent Jack Ryan. Ford also made a number of well-received films like Blade Runner, Working Girl and Witness. As anti-establishment in his personal life as he is onscreen, Ford avoids the Hollywood lifestyle, preferring to live on his 700-acre Montana ranch with girlfriend Calista Flockhart.


1. When he worked as a carpenter in between acting jobs, one of his projects was building a home studio for Sergio Mendes.
2. Of his own filmography, his favorites are Witness and Roman Polanski's thriller Frantic.
3. His biggest passion outside of acting is flying; he owns five airplanes and a helicopter.
4. He has worn a gold stud earring since 1997.
5. He is an avid art collector and student of interior design.


"I am as interested in playing old men as I am in playing young men so I have no resistance to my aging. I have been asked many times to dye my hair, but I always say, 'Well, who are you going to kid?'"
