He is also widely known for his portrayal of Indiana Jones in the titular film franchise , beginning with the action-adventure film Raiders of the Lost Ark ( 1981 ) , and for playing other characters in different franchises , most notably Rick Deckard in the dystopian science fiction films Blade Runner ( 1982 ) and Blade Runner 2049 ( 2017 ) and the Tom Clancy character Jack Ryan in the spy thriller films Patriot Games ( 1992 ) and Clear and Present Danger ( 1994 ) .

He is married to actress Calista Flockhart . Early life . Harrison Ford was born at the Swedish Covenant Hospital in Chicago , Illinois , on July 13 , 1942 , and was the son of former radio actress Dorothy ( née Nidelman ) and advertising executive and former actor John William Christopher Ford . His younger brother , Terence , was born in 1945 . His father was a Catholic of Irish and German descent , while his mother was an Ashkenazi Jew , whose parents were emigrants from Minsk , Belarus . When asked in which religion he and his brother were raised , Ford jokingly responded Democrat and more seriously stated that they were raised to be liberals of every stripe . When asked about what influence his Jewish and Irish Catholic ancestry may have had on him , he quipped , As a man Ive always felt Irish , as an actor Ive always felt Jewish . Ford was a Boy Scout , achieving the second-highest rank of Life Scout . He worked at Napowan Adventure Base Scout Camp as a counselor for the Reptile Study merit badge . Because of this , he and director Steven Spielberg later decided to depict the young Indiana Jones as a Life Scout in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade ( 1989 ) . Ford graduated in 1960 from Maine East High School in Park Ridge , Illinois . His voice was the first student voice broadcast on his high schools new radio station , WMTH , and he was its first sportscaster during his senior year . He attended Ripon College in Ripon , Wisconsin , where he was a philosophy major and a member of the Sigma Nu fraternity . A self-described late bloomer , Ford took a drama class in the final quarter of his senior year to get over his shyness and became fascinated with acting . Career . 1964–1976 . In 1964 , after a season of summer stock with the Belfry Players in Wisconsin , Ford traveled to Los Angeles to apply for a job in radio voice-overs . He did not get it , but stayed in California and eventually signed a $150-per-week contract with Columbia Pictures new talent program , playing bit roles in films . His first known role was an uncredited one as a bellhop in Dead Heat on a Merry-Go-Round ( 1966 ) . There is little record of his non-speaking ( or extra ) roles in film . Ford was at the bottom of the hiring list , having offended producer Jerry Tokovsky after he played a bellboy in the feature . He was told by Tokovsky that when actor Tony Curtis delivered a bag of groceries , he did it like a movie star ; Ford felt his job was to act like a bellboy . His speaking roles continued next with Luv ( 1967 ) , though he was still uncredited . He was finally credited as Harrison J . Ford in the 1967 Western film A Time for Killing , starring Glenn Ford , George Hamilton and Inger Stevens , but the J did not stand for anything since he has no middle name . It was added to avoid confusion with a silent film actor named Harrison Ford , who appeared in more than 80 films between 1915 and 1932 and died in 1957 . Ford later said that he was unaware of the existence of the earlier actor until he came upon a star with his own name on the Hollywood Walk of Fame . Ford soon dropped the J and worked for Universal Studios , playing minor roles in many television series throughout the late 1960s and early 1970s , including Gunsmoke , Ironside , The Virginian , The F.B.I. , Love , American Style and Kung Fu . He appeared in the western Journey to Shiloh ( 1968 ) and had an uncredited , non-speaking role in Michelangelo Antonionis 1970 film Zabriskie Point as an arrested student protester . French filmmaker Jacques Demy chose Ford for the lead role of his first American film , Model Shop ( 1969 ) , but the head of Columbia Pictures thought Ford had no future in the film business and told Demy to hire a more experienced actor . The part eventually went to Gary Lockwood . Ford later commented that the experience had been nevertheless a positive one because Demy was the first to show such faith in him . Not happy with the roles being offered to him , Ford became a self-taught professional carpenter to support his then-wife and two young sons . Casting director and fledgling producer Fred Roos championed the young Ford and secured him an audition with George Lucas for the role of Bob Falfa , which Ford went on to play in American Graffiti ( 1973 ) . Fords relationship with Lucas would profoundly affect his career later on . After director Francis Ford Coppolas film The Godfather was a success , he hired Ford to expand his office and gave him small roles in his next two films , The Conversation ( 1974 ) and Apocalypse Now ( 1979 ) ; in the latter film , Ford played an army officer named G . Lucas . 1977–1997 . Ford began to receive bigger roles in films throughout the late 1970s , including Heroes ( 1977 ) , Force 10 from Navarone ( 1978 ) and Hanover Street ( 1979 ) . Ford also co-starred alongside Gene Wilder in the buddy-comedy western The Frisco Kid ( 1979 ) , playing a bank robber with a heart of gold . His previous work in American Graffiti eventually landed him his first starring film role when he was hired by Lucas to read lines for actors auditioning for roles in Lucas upcoming epic space-opera film Star Wars ( 1977 ) . Lucas was eventually won over by Fords performance during these line reads and cast him as Han Solo . Star Wars became one of the most successful and groundbreaking films of all time , and brought Ford , and his co-stars Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher , widespread recognition . He returned to star in the similarly successful Star Wars sequels The Empire Strikes Back ( 1980 ) and Return of the Jedi ( 1983 ) , as well as the Star Wars Holiday Special ( 1978 ) . Ford wanted Lucas to kill off Han Solo at the end of Return of the Jedi , saying , That would have given the whole film a bottom , but Lucas refused . Fords status as a leading actor was solidified with Raiders of the Lost Ark ( 1981 ) , an action-adventure collaboration between George Lucas and Steven Spielberg that gave Ford his second franchise role as the heroic , globe-trotting archaeologist Indiana Jones . Like Star Wars , the film was massively successful and became the highest-grossing film of the year . Spielberg was interested in casting Ford from the beginning , but Lucas was not , having already worked with the actor in American Graffiti and Star Wars . Lucas eventually relented after Tom Selleck was unable to accept . Ford went on to reprise the role throughout the rest of the decade in the prequel Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom ( 1984 ) , which co-starred Spielbergs future-wife Kate Capshaw , and the sequel Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade ( 1989 ) , which co-starred Sean Connery as Indys father , Henry Jones Sr . During the June 1983 filming of Temple of Doom in London , Ford herniated a disc in his back . The 40-year-old actor was forced to fly back to Los Angeles for surgery and returned six weeks later . Following his leading-man success as Indiana Jones , he played Rick Deckard in Ridley Scotts dystopian science-fiction film Blade Runner ( 1982 ) . Compared to his experiences on the Star Wars and Indiana Jones films , Ford had a difficult time with the production . He recalled to Vanity Fair , “It was a long slog . I didn’t really find it that physically difficult—I thought it was mentally difficult.” Ford and Scott also had differing views on the nature of his character , Deckard , that persist decades later . While not initially a success , Blade Runner went on to become a cult classic and one of Fords most highly regarded films . Ford also proved his versatility throughout the 1980s with dramatic parts in films such as Witness ( 1985 ) , The Mosquito Coast ( 1986 ) , and Frantic ( 1988 ) as well as the romantic male lead opposite Melanie Griffith and Sigourney Weaver in the comedy-drama Working Girl ( 1988 ) . Witness and The Mosquito Coast in particular allowed Ford to explore his potential as a dramatic actor and both performances were widely acclaimed . Ford would later recall that working with director Peter Weir on both Witness and The Mosquito Coast were two of the best experiences of his career . In the 1990s , Ford became the second of five actors to portray Jack Ryan in two films of the film series based on the literary character created by Tom Clancy : Patriot Games ( 1992 ) and Clear and Present Danger ( 1994 ) , both co-starring Anne Archer and James Earl Jones . Ford took over the role from Alec Baldwin who had previously played the character in The Hunt for Red October ( 1990 ) . This led to a long-lasting resentment from Baldwin who claimed to have wanted to reprise the role but Ford had negotiated with Paramount behind his back . Ford also played leading roles in other action-based thrillers throughout the decade such as the critically acclaimed The Fugitive ( 1993 ) , The Devils Own ( 1997 ) , and Air Force One ( 1997 ) . For his performance in The Fugitive , which also co-starred Tommy Lee Jones , Ford received some of the best reviews of his career , including from Roger Ebert who concluded that , Ford is once again the great modern movie everyman . As an actor , nothing he does seems merely for show , and in the face of this melodramatic material he deliberately plays down , lays low , gets on with business instead of trying to exploit the drama in meaningless acting flourishes . He also played more straight dramatic roles in Presumed Innocent ( 1990 ) and Regarding Henry ( 1991 ) as well as another romantic lead in Sabrina ( 1995 ) , a remake of a classic 1954 film with the same name . Ford established working relationships with many well-regarded directors during this time , including Peter Weir , Alan J . Pakula , Mike Nichols , Phillip Noyce , and Sydney Pollack , collaborating twice with each of them . This was the most lucrative period of Fords career . From 1977 to 1997 , he appeared in fourteen films that reached the top fifteen in the yearly domestic box office rankings , twelve of which reached the top ten . Six of the films he appeared in during this time were also nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture amongst numerous other awards : Star Wars , Apocalypse Now , Raiders of the Lost Ark , Witness , Working Girl , and The Fugitive . 1998–2014 . In the late 1990s , Ford started appearing in several critically derided and/or commercially disappointing films that failed to match his earlier successes , including Six Days , Seven Nights ( 1998 ) , Random Hearts ( 1999 ) , ( 2002 ) , Hollywood Homicide ( 2003 ) , Firewall ( 2006 ) and Extraordinary Measures ( 2010 ) . One exception was What Lies Beneath ( 2000 ) which grossed over $155million in the United States and $291million worldwide . Ford served as an executive producer on K-19 : The Widowmaker and Extraordinary Measures , both of which were based on true events . In the 2001 Guinness Book of World Records , Ford was listed as the richest male actor in the world . In 2004 , Ford declined a chance to star in the thriller Syriana , later commenting that I didnt feel strongly enough about the truth of the material and I think I made a mistake . The role eventually went to George Clooney , who won an Oscar and a Golden Globe for his work . Prior to that , Ford had passed on a role in another Stephen Gaghan-written film , that of Robert Wakefield in Traffic , which eventually went to Michael Douglas . In 2008 , Ford enjoyed success with the release of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull , the first Indiana Jones film in nineteen years and another collaboration with Lucas and Spielberg . The film received generally positive reviews and was the second highest-grossing film worldwide in 2008 . Ford later said he would like to star in another sequel , ...if it didnt take another 20 years to digest . Other 2008 work included Crossing Over , directed by Wayne Kramer . In the film , Ford plays an ICE/Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent , working alongside Ashley Judd and Ray Liotta . He also narrated a feature documentary film about the Dalai Lama entitled Dalai Lama Renaissance . Ford filmed the medical drama Extraordinary Measures in 2009 in Portland , Oregon . Released January 22 , 2010 , the film also starred Brendan Fraser and Alan Ruck . Also in 2010 , he co-starred in the film Morning Glory , along with Rachel McAdams , Diane Keaton and Patrick Wilson . Although a disappointment at the box office , Fords performance was well received by critics , some of which thought it was his best role in years . In July 2011 , Ford starred alongside Daniel Craig and Olivia Wilde in the science-fiction/western hybrid film Cowboys & Aliens . To promote the film , Ford appeared at the San Diego Comic-Con International and , apparently surprised by the warm welcome , told the audience , I just wanted to make a living as an actor . I didnt know about this . Also in 2011 , Ford starred in Japanese commercials advertising the video game for the PlayStation 3 . 2013 began a trend that saw Ford accepting more diverse supporting roles . That year , Ford co-starred in the corporate espionage thriller Paranoia with Liam Hemsworth and Gary Oldman , who he had previously worked with in Air Force One , and he also appeared in Enders Game , 42 and . His performance as Branch Rickey in 42 was praised by many critics and garnered Ford a nomination as best supporting actor for the Satellite Awards . In 2014 , he appeared in The Expendables 3 and the documentary . The next year , Ford co-starred with Blake Lively in the romantic drama The Age of Adaline to positive notices . 2015–present . Ford reprised the role of Han Solo in the long-awaited Star Wars sequel ( 2015 ) , which became massively successful like its predecessors . During filming on June 11 , 2014 , Ford suffered what was said to be a fractured ankle when a hydraulic door fell on him . He was airlifted to John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford , England , for treatment . Fords son Ben released details on his fathers injury , saying that his ankle would likely need a plate and screws , and that filming could be altered slightly with the crew needing to shoot Ford from the waist up for a short time until he recovered . Ford made his return to filming in mid-August , after a two-month layoff as he recovered from his injury . Fords character was killed off in The Force Awakens , but it was subsequently announced , via a casting call , that Ford would return in some capacity as Solo in Episode VIII . In February 2016 , when the cast for Episode VIII was confirmed , it was indicated that Ford would not reprise his role in the film after all . When Ford was asked if his character could come back in some form , he replied , Anything is possible in space . The character eventually reappeared as a vision in ( 2019 ) . On February 26 , 2015 , Alcon Entertainment announced Ford would reprise his role as Rick Deckard in Blade Runner 2049 . The film , and Fords performance , was very well received by critics upon its release in October 2017 . Scott Collura of IGN called it a , deep , rich , smart film thats visually awesome and full of great sci-fi concepts and Fords role , a quiet , sort of gut-wrenching interpretation to Deckard and what he mustve gone through in the past three decades . Despite the acclaim , the film only grossed $259.3million worldwide , far short of the estimated $400million that the film needed in order to break even . In 2019 , Ford had his first voice role in an animated film , as a dog named Rooster in The Secret Life of Pets 2 . With filming for a fifth Indiana Jones film having been delayed by a year , Ford headlined a big-budget adaptation of Jack Londons The Call of the Wild , playing prospector John Thornton . The film was released in February 2020 to a mixed critical reception but its theatrical release was shortened due to the impact of the coronavirus disease on the film industry . Personal life .
