He has been the star of some of Hollywood's greatest films for decades, but Harrison Ford is more than just an actor and producer.
Born in Chicago, Illinois, in 1942, Ford is a man of many passions, from humanitarianism to photography. He was raised Presbyterian and his parents taught him to have respect for all kinds of life. Ford himself is passionate about conservation and environmental protection, something he speaks and acts on often.
Ford began his career as an actor after dropping out of college in 1964. He appeared in small parts in films such as American Graffiti and Apocalypse Now, eventually making it to the big time after being cast as the lead character Han Solo in Star Wars in 1977. Ford went on to star in massive hits such as the Indiana Jones film series, Blade Runner, Air Force One, and The Fugitive. And while Ford has won several awards throughout his career, he has stated that the best reward from being an actor is the gratitude from millions of dedicated fans around the world who appreciate his body of work.
One thing that many people may not know about Ford is his relationship with his family — both his own children and grandchildren — and how he uses technology to stay connected.

Through Familio, Ford can stay up to date on all family events, even if he’s not physically present at any of them. The app also allows him to send messages of love and support to his family whenever he’s away from them.
