Can't stand this guy

I guess it was partially a lucky break to be cast as both Han Solo and Indiana Jones. But some talent had to be involved. I mean, he may not be the greatest actor but he has that particular "something" that comes across on the screen. Charisma just can't be taught or learned. Some actors have it and some don't.

I haven't seen a whole lot of his movies but I've enjoyed the ones that I have seen. For me he has a soothing yet dynamic screen presence.

The studios would never agree to any "quota" system where an actor could do only a certain number of roles per year. That is unless the actor's films bombed and he started losing money for the studio! It's all in the box office. Follow the money, as they say.

That's a strong reaction!

I don't mind Harrison. He's physically one of the most magnetic of all actors and I have to say I've never seen a performance from him that seemed leaden or wooden or unconvincing. He may be a grumpy old c**t now and his films haven't really been on my radar for the past decade or so, but I'd still rank him as one of top film stars of all time.

I feel you may be more put off by his political views, rather than him being a truly terrible performer. Personally I prefer to ignore most actor's political opinions if I can. I certainly don't watch Clint Eastwood films with a grudge about him being a Trump supporter, it would just sully everything I love about that man's work.

Do you really think that Ford, in his current age group, is preventing other actors from getting a chance though? I think he's in his twilight years and is no great threat to anyone's employment, but maybe I misunderstood you.

If to be a good actor means to entertain millions of people around the world, then he is indeed one of the best. In order to have his success you need something more than "luck".

Here's a simple solution socialists like you would love. Cap their salary at 1M per year. Top actors would only do one movie or several TV episodes. Others might just switch to drug dealing.

He's a terrible actor who has been in some decent movies just because of connections he has or some "reputation" he has developed. He doesn't even act. He plays the exact same dull man, that is himself, in every movie.

STFU, Brux, you stinking cunt!

Acting abilities haven't really changed among the top leading actors in nearly 100 years. The only really big change that has happened is that the studios don't control actors and keep the idiots from going out and spouting off their often uneducated and even more often divisive views to the world. If actors had a brain in their head which apparently none have... they wouldn't go out making statements that are only going to alienate a segment of the audience. I think more of them should look at Michael Jordan who refused to wade into given a political endorsement to a black candidate in his home state because he knew it would alienate some of his fans. That was the smartest thing he could have done, and most actors should look at that as a lesson in whether to open their mouth about any little pet cause they might like... If they were smart they would know that for every person that might like their little cause there are as many and often times more people that hate that cause.

Have you seen the casting scenes for Star Wars? Harrison Ford was by far the best actor, and he was not even there for the part.

Yeah, he has a style that doesn't always fit, but what do you want him to be? Other great actors have their own style too.
