BiographyHarrison Ford (born July 13, 1942) is an American actor. Regarded as a cinematic cultural icon, he has starred in many films over seven decades and is one of the highest-grossing actors in the world. Ford's accolades include nominations for an Academy Award, a British Academy Film Award, an Emmy Award, five Golden Globe Awards and two Screen Actors Guild Awards. He is the recipient of the AFI Life Achievement Award, Cecil B. DeMille Award, Honorary César, Honorary Palme d'Or and SAG-AFTRA Life Achievement Award. He was honored as a Disney Legend in 2024.
After making his screen debut in 1966 and early supporting roles in the films American Graffiti (1973) and The Conversation (1974), Ford achieved global stardom for portraying Han Solo in the space opera film Star Wars (1977), a role he reprised in five films for the eponymous franchise spanning the next four decades. He also received recognition for his portrayal of the titular character in the Indiana Jones franchise (1981–2023); Rick Deckard in the Blade Runner franchise (1982–2017); Jack Ryan in the action thriller films Patriot Games (1992) and Clear and Present Danger (1994); and Thaddeus Ross in the Marvel Cinematic Universe film Captain America: Brave New World (2025). These roles established him as an action hero and one of Hollywood's most bankable stars from the late 1970s into the early 2000s.

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); Cowboys & Aliens (2011); 42 (2013), The Age of Adaline (2015) and The Call of the Wild (2020). Ford has also starred in the Paramount+ western series 1923 (2022–2025) and the Apple TV+ comedy series Shrinking (since 2023), earning a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for the latter.
Outside 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. Ford is also an environmental activist, having served as the inaugural vice chair of Conservation International since 1991.
