Happy Birthday Harrison Ford! What Are His Best Movie Roles? (Photos)
Harrison Ford has done it all in his six-plus-decade movie career. He has been a detective (Witness), a doctor/fugitive (The Fugitive), a smuggler (Star Wars franchise), an archeologist (Indiana Jones franchise), and even the President of the United States (Air Force One). Early in his career, Ford had appearances on the ever-popular TV Westerns Gunsmoke and The Virginian. Today (July 13), Harrison Ford turns 83 years old and is still going strong, as he can currently be seen in the series Shrinking on Apple TV and as a version of the red Hulk in Captain America: Brave New World (2025)!
