One of the most recognizable actors in the world, and certainly one of the most enduring, Harrison Ford is also perhaps the most quintessentially American of movie stars, a modern personification of John Wayne, Robert Mitchum, Clayton Moore rolled into one. Appealing to both male and female audiences the world over, Ford has come to epitomize the rugged hero 'sometimes stalwart, sometimes cynical' who always gets the job done, be he an ophidiphobic adventurer ("I hate snakes, Jock! I hate 'em!" Ford announces in Raiders of the Lost Ark) or the President of the United States.

Born in Chicago to a typically American family (an Irish-Catholic father and a Russian Jewish mother) in July 1942, young Harry never quite knew what he wanted to be when he grew up. He began acting at Wisconsin's Ripon College, but flunked out three days before graduation. After a brief stint in summer stock, he headed for Hollywood and life as a studio contract player in films like Dead Heat on a Merry-Go-Round (1966) and small parts on TV in Gun smoke and The Virginian.
