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. Ford’s accolades include nominations for an Academy Award, a British Academy Film Award, two Screen Actors Guild awards, and five Golden Globe Awards, and he is the recipient of the AFI Life Achievement Award, Cecil B. DeMille Award, Honorary César, and Honorary Palme d'Or.

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. 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), and Jack Ryan in the action thriller films Patriot Games (1992) and Clear and Present Danger (1994). These roles established him as an iconic action hero and one of Hollywood's most bankable stars from the late 1970s into the early 2000s.

Ford's performance in the thriller film Witness (1985) earned him his sole Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. His other notable 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 Captain America: Brave New World (2025). Ford has also starred in the Paramount+ western series 1923 (2022–2025) and the Apple TV+ comedy series Shrinking (2023–present).

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.
