 Harrison Ford was born on July 13, 1942, in Chicago, to an Irish Catholic father and a Russian Jewish mother.
Young Harry (as he was referred to as a child) did not share the rugged, adventurous, heroic characteristics that he shares with most of his onscreen characters. Although Ford had no direction in life, not to mention no motivation to learn, he continued in his studies and attended Ripon College, in Wisconsin. A below average student, Ford took an acting class to try raising his grade point average. This didn't help since Ford was kicked out of Ripon just weeks before graduation -- but the acting classes did serve another purpose -- they gave Ford a glimmer of direction in his life.
Ford left for Los Angeles with the hopes of pursuing an acting career. Once in LA, Ford received bit parts in television series, but this was not keeping him busy nor was it paying the bills. He took a job as a carpenter with the task of building a recording studio. Producers and directors told Ford that he did not have what it takes to be an actor, but he did have a knack for carpentry and taught himself about it with the help of a library book he borrowed.
And then he began the relationship with director George Lucas. Ford was offered a role in the film American Graffiti, but passed it up when he learned his salary was not half as big as what he was earning as a carpenter. When he was offered a slight pay raise, he finally accepted the role.
This was the beginning of a beautiful friendship, which led to his historical role as Han Solo in Star Wars. After his work in Star Wars, Ford performed in another star-turning role, this time for directors Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, in the first installment of the Indiana Jones series, Raiders of the Lost Ark.
With dramatic roles in films such as Presumed Innocent, Patriot Games, The Fugitive, Clear and Present Danger, The Devil's Own, and Air Force One (to name just a few), it's no wonder Ford is one of the most respected actors of his time.
Although 7 of Ford's films are among the top grossing films of all time, he has never actually won an Academy Award. He was recognized for his work in the 1985 drama Witness with a Best Actor Oscar nomination and has received a slew of other prestigious awards.
Revered as a sex symbol by women worldwide, the person behind the most beloved heroes in film's history is regarded as an excellent actor by both sexes. He earns a salary of at least ＄ 20 million per movie.
哈里森·福特于1942年7月13日生于芝加哥，父亲是一名爱尔兰天主教徒，母亲是一名俄国犹太人。
年轻时的哈里（他小时候的名字）并没有他众多的银幕形象所展现的粗犷、冒险和英雄般的性格。尽管福特没有明确的人生目标，更不用说学习的动力，但他并未中止学业，而是进入了威斯康星州的里彭大学。在这里，福特只是一名中等偏下的学生，于是他选修了一门表演课以提高他的课程平均成绩，但此举没能奏效，因为还只差数周就能毕业的他被学校开除了--但表演课却另有所获--福特看到了前途的曙光。
福特带着在演艺圈出人头地的希望奔向洛杉矶。一到那儿，他就得到了电视连续剧中的一些小角色，但工作量并不大，而且收入不足糊口。于是他承接了修建一个录音棚的木匠活。制片人和导演告诉福特，他没有成为一名演员的天赋，但他却有学做木匠活的能力，他就靠一本从图书馆借来的书自学。
后来他与导演乔治·卢卡斯有了交往，被邀在影片《美国画师》中担任一个角色，但当听说片酬还不及他当木匠所挣的一半时，就没有接受。他最后还是出演了这一角色，因为片酬略涨了一些。
这是一段友谊佳话的开端，它将福特领引到了一个具有历史意义的角色：在《星球大战》中扮演汉·索罗。拍摄完《星球大战》后，福特得到了另一个令他成名的角色，这次是史蒂文·斯皮尔伯格和乔治·卢卡斯共同导演的印第安纳·琼斯系列影片的第一部：《夺宝奇兵》。
福特在众多影片中塑造了一系列动人心魄的形象，这些影片包括《推定无罪》、《爱国者游戏》、《逃亡者》、《迫在眉睫》、《与魔鬼同行》和《空军一号》(这还只是一小部分)，无怪乎他成为他那个时代最受崇拜的男演员之一。
尽管福特出演的影片中有7部一直高居票房收入之冠，他却从未获得过奥斯卡奖。他凭1985年影片《目击者》中出色表演荣获奥斯卡最佳男演员提名，此外他还获得许多其他著名奖项。
福特是全球妇女崇拜的性感偶像，同时，因其扮演了电影史上最受人喜爱的英雄形象，人们都认为他是个出色的演员。现在他每部影片的酬金至少有2000万美元。
