29 Photos That Show the Eternal Cool of Harrison Ford
From Han Solo to Indiana Jones, Harrison Ford has captivated fans on and off the screen for decades.
Whether you know him best as Han Solo or Indiana Jones, Harrison Ford has a career that has spanned six decades and solidified his status as a household name. Born in Chicago in 1942, Ford started out doing voice-over work and taking bit roles through the 60s and 70s. With his big break slow to arrive, he used his carpentry skills to support his family—at least, until he got cast in George Lucas's film American Graffiti. After that his career skyrocketed and suddenly he was landing roles in the Star Wars and Indiana Jones franchises. Of course, there's more. He's also starred in a host of other blockbuster movies like Blade Runner, Clear and Present Danger, Air Force One and The Fugitive. Here, we look back at 50 years of Ford on and off the big screen.
