Bio
Harrison Ford is an American actor best known for his performances as the tough, wisecracking space pilot Han Solo in the Star Wars film series, and the adventurous archaeologist/action hero in the Indiana Jones film series.
Ford has also been the star of many high-grossing hits Hollywood blockbusters such as Air Force One and The Fugitive, which have distanced him from his famous Star Wars and Indiana Jones roles.
At one point Ford had roles in the top five box-office hits of all time, though his role in 1982's E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (as Elliot's school principal) was deleted from the final cut of the film.
Five of his films have been inducted into the National Film Registry.
As of May 2007, the combined domestic box office grosses of Ford's films total approximately $3.10-billion, with worldwide grosses approaching the $6-billion mark, making Ford the number-three all-time domestic box-office star behind Eddie Murphy and Tom Hanks.
He was ranked #1 in Empire magazine's "The Top 100 Movie Stars of All Time" list.
Ford was married to Mary Marquardt from 18 June 1964 - 1979. The marriage ended in divorce and the couple had two children.
He was married to screenwriter Melissa Mathison (who wrote the screenplay for E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial) from 14 March 1983 - 6 January 2004. The couple had two children and the marriage ended in divorce.
