Harrison Ford’s career started in 1964 when he travelled toCalifornia in search of a voice-over job.He never received that position, but instead signed a contract withColumbia Pictures where he earned $150 weekly to play small fill in roles invarious films.Through the 60’s Harrisonworked on several TV shows including Gunsmoke,Ironside, Kung Fu, and American Style. It wasn’t until 1967 that Harrison receivedhis first credited role in the Western film, A Time for Killing. Dissatisfied with the meager roles he was beingoffered, Ford took a hiatus from acting to work as a self-employed carpenter.This seemingly odd diversion turned out to be a blessing in disguise forHarrison’s acting career when he was soon hired by famous film producer GeorgeLucas. This was a turning point inHarrison’s life that led to him be casted in milestone roles such as Hans Soloand Indiana Jones.Since his most famousroles in the Star Wars Trilogy and Raidersof the Lost Ark, Harrison Ford has starred in over 40 films. Many criticize his recent work, saying hisperformances have been lackluster leading to commercially disappointing films.
