Harrison Ford is an American actor. Ford is best known for his
performances as Han Solo in the original Star Wars trilogy and as the title
character in the Indiana Jones film series. He is also known for his role as
the haunted android tracker Rick Deckard in Ridley Scott's sci-fi cult film
Blade Runner and as CIA operative Jack Ryan in the films Patriot Games and
Clear and Present Danger. His four-decade career also includes roles in other
Hollywood blockbusters such as The Fugitive, Air Force One, Witness, Presumed
Innocent and What Lies Beneath. At one point, Ford had roles in the top five
box-office hits of all time, though his role in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (as
Elliot's school principal) was deleted from the final cut of the film. Five of
his films have been inducted into the National Film Registry.
In 1997, Ford was ranked # 1 in Empire's "The Top 100 Movie Stars of
All Time" list. As of July 2008, the United States domestic box office
grosses of Ford's films total almost $3.4 billion, with worldwide grosses
surpassing $6 billion, making Ford the #2 U.S. domestic box-office star for lead
roles, behind only Eddie Murphy. If counting both supporting movie roles as
well as starring roles, Ford would be the fourth biggest film star, behind that
of voice-actor Frank Welker, Samuel L. Jackson, and Tom Hanks.
Born July 13, 1942, his primary personality traits are represented by the
Chinese Zodiac elemental animal sign, the Water Horse. Water adds fluidity to
the free flowing Horse sign. This, coupled with the Horse's innate instinct to
roam, often leads to indecision. He is the Horse most likely to embark on many
different activities without ever completing one. This makes him somewhat
difficult to deal with from a business standpoint. Already the life of a party,
his Water (communications ability) element makes him an appealing companion in a
social setting, be it on a one to one basis, or as a part of a large group.
