in
Chicago
Best Known For:
Playing Han Solo and Indiana Jones.
Early-life:
Born July 13, 1942, in Chicago. He has a younger brother called Terence. Harrison started acting while at Ripon College, Wisconsin, and after dropping out, moved to LA, where he hoped to get a job as a radio announcer. Instead, he signed a contract with Columbia and later Universal and made ends meet as a carpenter. His big-screen debut came in the 1966 James Coburn offering Dead Heat On a Merry-Go-Round.
Career:
After being hired to make cabinets for George Lucas, Ford was cast in the director's 1973 film American Graffiti. They reunited for the original Star Wars trilogy, which made both their names. His role as intrepid archaeologist Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark and its sequels cemented his position as one of the world's best-loved heroes. Ford was Oscar-nominated for Peter Weir's thriller Witness. He worked with the director again on 1986 project The Mosquito Coast, which despite being a flop remains one of his favourite movies. Other notable projects include The Fugitive, Blade Runner, Working Girl, Patriot Games and Cowboys & Aliens.

Since then, Fox has appeared in A Bridge Too Far, The Duellists, Gandhi, Never Say Never Again, A Passage to India, Lost in Space, Stage Beauty and Oliver Twist. He continues to act on stage.
