The U.S. box office gross of all of Harrison Ford's films is the highest for any actor in history. His film roles run the gamut from thrillers to comedies to action-adventure. College acting classes gave the Illinois native some life direction, but when his studio contracts didn't pay the rent, Ford taught himself carpentry. He earned a reputation as a premier cabinetmaker, which, ironically, led to his big break. He flies his own plane and is an environmentalist. Ford's latest feature is the hostage thriller, Firewall.
