Harrison Ford is a true artist, one who unwaveringly maintains his integrity and, through his choice of roles, continually challenges both himself and his audiences’ perception of him. Unique among action heroes, Harrison Ford brings to the screen believable, flesh-and-blood men, flaws and all. Invariably sympathetic and relatable, Ford relies on his intelligence and wit, rather than on manufactured superpowers, to defeat his foes. Whether he’s playing a doctor, lawyer, archeologist, CIA agent or even the president of the United States, all of Ford’s characters share his humanity, warmth and, most significantly, his vulnerability. At the same time, Ford is an undisputed box-office champ, with his movies having earned more than $2 billion just here in America.
