BiographyHarrison Ford (born July 13, 1942) is an American actor. Regarded as a cinematic cultural icon, he has starred in several notable films over seven decades, and is one of the highest-grossing actors in the world.

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 four films for the eponymous franchise spanning the next four decades.

Ford is also an environmental activist, having served as the inaugural vice chair of Conservation International since 1991.
