Harrison Ford (born July 13, 1942) is an American actor. Regarded as a cinematic cultural icon,^[1] he has been a leading man in films of several genres and starred in many major box-office successes, particularly in the 1980s and 1990s. His films have grossed more than $5.4 billion in North America and more than $9.3 billion worldwide.^[2]^[3]^[4] Ford is the recipient of various accolades, including the AFI Life Achievement Award, the Cecil B. DeMille Award, an Honorary C\u00e9sar, and an Honorary Palme d'Or, in addition to an Academy Award nomination.^[5]^[6]\n

Ford made his screen acting debut in an uncredited appearance in the film Dead Heat on a Merry-Go-Round (1966) and went on to play bit parts in both films and television throughout the late 1960s and early 1970s. After breakthrough supporting roles in American Graffiti (1973) and The Conversation (1974), he gained worldwide fame for his role as Han Solo in the space opera film Star Wars (1977), a part he reprised in four sequels over the next four decades. Ford is also known for his portrayal of the titular character in the popular media franchise Indiana Jones, beginning with the action-adventure film Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981). He played the character in four additional sequels over the next four decades and also starred as Rick Deckard in the science fiction film Blade Runner (1982) and its sequel Blade Runner 2049 (2017), and portrayed Jack Ryan in the spy thriller films Patriot Games (1992) and Clear and Present Danger (1994).\n

Ford's on-screen career spans seven decades. He received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actor for his role as a detective who envelops himself in the Amish community in the thriller Witness (1985). His other films include The Mosquito Coast (1986), Working Girl (1988), Presumed Innocent (1990), The Fugitive (1993), Sabrina (1995), The Devil's Own (1997), Air Force One (1997), Six Days, Seven Nights (1998), What Lies Beneath (2000), K-19: The Widowmaker (2002), Morning Glory (2010), Cowboys & Aliens (2011), 42 (2013), and The Age of Adaline (2015). Ford has since starred in the Paramount+ western series 1923 (2022\u2013present) and the Apple TV+ comedy series Shrinking (2023\u2013present).\n

Outside of acting, Ford is a licensed pilot; he has often assisted the emergency services in rescue missions near his home in Wyoming, and he chaired an aviation education program for youth from 2004 to 2009.^[7] Ford is also an environmental activist, having served as the inaugural vice chair of Conservation International since 1991.^[8]\n
