2. Harrison Ford first 12 years of making movies were filled with many uncredited parts and small quickly forgotten speaking parts. The highlight during this time frame would be his small roles in 1973’s American Graffiti and 1974’s The Conversation…both were nominated for Oscars® for Best Picture but neither movie really helped his career.
3. By 1976, Ford turned towards his carpentry skills to support his family. He was hired by George Lucas to build some cabinets for the Lucas house. Ford was building the cabinets at the same time Lucas was trying to cast actors for his latest movie.

This was informative, and very well written.
I actually love watching Harrison Ford’s movies.
I actually have a warm spot for Force 10 To Navarone. It could be, because I took my younger siblings to the movies for the first time on my own, and that was what we saw. We loved it.
Thanks for sharing.
Take Care,
N.E.
Hey N.E. Thanks for the nice compliment on my Harrison Ford page. I actually saw Force 10 at the theaters too…thanks for stopping by.
Harrison Ford was such a huge star from the late 70s through the 80s and 90s. He’s been in a long slump in the 21st Century, which (sadly) his return to the Indiana Jones franchise did nothing to end. (Awful film!) Along with Stallone and Arnold S., he was one of a trio of mega-action superstars for his generation.
The first thing I ever saw him in was “American Graffiti”, even though he had a very small part. I loved him as Han Solo but my favorite Ford role was as Dr. Henry “Indiana” Jones. “Raiders of the Lost Ark” is one of my all-time favorite movies and possibly the best adventure film ever made.
Funny bit of trivia…By the mid seventies, Harrison Ford had given up acting and returned to carperntry because the acting wasn’t working out as well as he’d hoped. He was doing a carpentry job in 20th Century Fox when he ran into George Lucas, who recognized him from “American Graffitit”. (Lucas directed ‘Graffiti’.) Lucas had been having a hard time casting the role of Han Solo in “Star Wars” and he asked Ford to audition. Ford got the part and his career skyrocketed immediately from there.
Hey Rob…thanks for sharing the “how Ford got the Han Solo role” story…..talk about being in the right place at the right time…..I can not make up my mind about Cowboys and Aliens….at first I was excited about….but then I saw the trailer…..now I am not so sure….it would be nice to see him in a good movie again.
Hans Solo is my all time favorite character from a far,far Galaxy,thanks Cogerson.;)
Thanks for reading and commenting Mentalist acer
Great Page. Informative. I’ve always liked Harrison Ford. Like most, probably first saw him in Star Wars, but loved the Indiana Jones series. He’s only 73. Don’t you have to be pushing 90 to get those honorary awards?
Hey Jeff….yes I agree they seem to wait until you are pushing 90…I want Harrison to be physically able to hold the Oscar while giving his speech…..Mr. Wallach looked he was struggling with the whole walk and hold the Oscar trick
