Since George Lucas chose him as an actor, after appearing at the 'Star Wars' auditions, the career of the octogenarian actor born in Chicago (1942), has been linked to action and adventure films, as you can see in the video that accompanies this news.
Among the characters he has played throughout his career, one of his most prominent roles is that of Han Solo, the protagonist of the Star Wars saga.
The first time he played the captain of the Rebel Alliance was in 1977, in 'Episode IV: A new hope'.
Then came 'Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back' (1980), Episode VI: Return of the Jedi' (1983), 'Episode VII: The Force Awakens' (2015) and 'Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker' ( 2019).
Another interpretation with which he gained worldwide fame was with that of the Indiana Jones saga.
Directed by director Steven Spielberg, Ford has played the leading adventurer four times: From 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' (1981) to 'Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull' (2008).
The fifth installment of the story, whose name has not yet been revealed, is expected to be released in 2023, with Ford again as the protagonist.
This time it will be James Mangold who directs the film, instead of Spielberg.
Ridley Sott, Roman Polanski, Francis Ford Coppola, Andrew Davis or JJ Abrams are some of the directors Ford has worked with in his more than 85 film and television roles, which have earned him 42 industry awards and 44 nominations.
