Lead male role

The 1998 film Frantic by Roman Polanski with Harrison Ford in the lead male role doesn't seem to feature in his filmography here. I was going to add it but it seems that the page is protected. Could you please add it and then you can delete this message from me. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lynxgates (talk • contribs) 21:03, 6 December 2015 (UTC)

Recent Roles

While the box-office-failure Paranoia and even a Japanese commercial get mentioned, Ford's 2013 starring roles in the successful 42 and Ender's Game are still missing in this article as well as his appearance in Anchorman 2 and the upcoming part in Expendables 3. Could somebody add these? LukeNorg (talk) 12:48, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

42 nominations

The winners of the San Francisco Film Critics Circle Award for Best Supporting Actor and the St. Louis Gateway Film Critics Association Award for Best Supporting Actor have been announced already, and Ford did not win either. Can someone please switch the "Pending" to "Nominated" for those two awards? MarksmanFTW (talk) 17:36, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

Could you change the Photo in the bio? I think it is pretty ugly and old. I think that this in the wiki commons is a better one. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Harrison_Ford_2011.jpg

Niceut (talk) 10:41, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

I think that the existing photo is better as the infobox/lead photo, simply because it shows his face better. If the 2011 photo had him looking at the camera I would be inclined to agree with you, but with him looking down like that I just don't think it presents as good a lead photo as the 2009 photo. I'm going to leave this request open for now to get some other opinions, though. --ElHef (Meep?) 15:36, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
I agree with ElHef. He looks glum in the 2011 photo, like a criminal in court or something. Niceut, ElHef, or anyone else, do you think this 2010 photo is an improvement over the current image? Adrian J. Hunter(talk•contribs) 03:33, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
@Adrian J. Hunter: I don't think that would be an improvement. The 2010 photo is overly bright and washed-out, and to my eyes almost looks fake (almost like a cardboard cutout). --ElHef (Meep?) 04:21, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

Felixmythos1984 (talk) 02:11, 29 January 2014 (UTC) Under the Recent Roles section the last sentence, "Ford has been confirmed to reprise the role of Han Solo in the upcoming Star Wars Episode VII," the word confirmed should be changed to rumored. Unless the studio or director makes such announcement, the casting isn't officially confirmed. Ford may very well be cast in Episode VII, but it's not official.

 Done The source does not meet the rigid requirements of WP:BLP. Joefromrandb (talk) 13:52, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
According to the source given, it has been confirmed. Span (talk) 13:12, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

"confirmed" by someone who isn't involved with production. El Mayimbe is an online blogger with an alleged inside source. More often he's right, but there are times when this particular scooper has been mistaken. The article used as citation is a few weeks shy of a year old and yet nobody from production confirmed Ford's involvement. Again, I maintain that this is a rumor. There have been no official cast announcements, just rumors and speculations and so-called insiders. Information obtained from insiders or unnamed sources should always be considered rumor. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Felixmythos1984 (talk • contribs) 22:41, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

We generally go by what is sourced. The writer maintains he has had confirmation. Anyone else care to chip in? Span (talk) 23:31, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
The problem is that the 'source' is poor and not encyclopaedic because the blogger's own source can't be confirmed. Until there is a press release from the studio to confirm Ford's casting and it becomes public record by being picked through reputable news agencies, it's just a rumour... He may be cast, then again, he may not, due to money, the size of the role or perhaps Ford is just not interested. We don't know and it's not the job of this article to speculate. Codymr (talk) 17:41, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
It's rare that we know the sources used in our references. Broadsheets like the Guardian or the Wall Street Journal are not concerned with listing their sources, neither news channels like the BBC. Anna (talk) 18:20, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
broadsheets and TV news are expected to triangulate their sources before they file for print or air. It's industry standard and protects them from error or slander lawsuits even if they don't use airtime or print space to list these sources. As a TV news producer, I have meticulous records and notebooks full of sources for stories that I filed in the event something that we aired was questioned by an outside entity or by the managing editor. That is why so much weight is put behind 'reputable sources' such as the Guardian, NYT or WSJ at Wikipedia. Further, you can usually research the people quoted in a news article if you choose to see if they are an expert and this is why most papers prefer not to use an anonymous source if they can find someone to talk on the record. In contrast, my personal blog is not a reputable source by Wikipedia standards despite triangulating my research, I don't have the ability to hire people for editorial oversite and fact checking. News agencies do employ these people regularly to minimize errors in their reporting.
So far no reputable news source has confirmed Ford's casting, nor has the studio sent out a press release on the matter even if the idea of casting Ford for the film is a no brainer and the only obstacle would likely be money. Although Lucas did say to Bloomberg News that a deal was close with the original cast. My best guess is that Disney/Lucasfilm will release a statement soon that a deal was reached and that Ford will return to the role. That said, this article is not the place to speculate or guess because it's an encyclopaedia and not a blog. Codymr (talk) 21:46, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

Apology

I changed "behest" to "request" in the "Aviation" section, feeling that "behest" implies a little more compulsion than would likely be brought to bear. However, I somehow managed to save it without adding an edit summary. My bad.

5 March 2015 crash

From the ATC tapes, it was identified as "53178" or '178, and from coverage, the plane has a nose number "50". Do we have a tailnumber/registration for this Ryan twin-inline-open-cockpit metal monoplane? -- 70.51.200.101 (talk) 04:06, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

According to http://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/wiki.php?id=174294 the N number is N53178. The FAA shows the owner of that registration as MG AVIATION INC, 2140 S DUPONT HWY, CAMDEN DE. Multiple sources list the same the ownership.
Does that help? Not sure how to then tie that to Mr. Ford

Edit Phrasing

Someone changed the phrasing from "was forced to make an emergency landing" to "made an emergency landing," with the edit summary "He made an emergency landing he wasn't "forced to."" I'm pretty sure his other options were all worse:

  • Fly into the ground
  • Fly into a building
  • Jump from the aircraft while it was in flight
  • etc.

Sounds pretty "forced" to me. I don't care enough to undo the revision, but it seems rather pointless. I'm not trying to be rude or disrespectful; I just don't understand reason for the edit. *Septegram*Talk*Contributions* 19:45, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

While he undoubtedly was forced, isn't that sort of implied already by saying it was an emergency landing? -- Calidum 20:08, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
Sure. In looking back at this, methinks I'm mountaining a major molehill. It's a matter of style, I guess, and the change is certainly more concise. But the edit summary says 'he wasn't "forced to." ' I think that's what baffles me.

You say he has been acting for 6 decades (60 years). He started in Dead Heat on a Merry-Go-Round (1966). It has not even been 50 years. 24.117.222.49 (talk) 06:03, 31 May 2015 (UTC)

Six decades is correct because it doesn't mean sixty years. It means he's worked six decades as an actor: 1960s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, and 2010s. Calidum T|C 06:05, 31 May 2015 (UTC)

The page says Ford has three grandchildren because we do not have a reliable source that says he has four. We also do not have a reliable source saying one of them is missing.

In the 2nd paragraph of Aviation, the cost of training is listed as $15 (In the 1960s), this should be adjusted for inflation. Apaphasia (talk) 06:26, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

I think that Template:Inflation {{Inflation|US|15|1960|fmt=eq}} would help get this job done, as it produces equivalent to $154 in 2023 for $15 in the year 1960. However, I haven't used this template before, and we don't have a specific start year to perform the inflation calculation on. We're only given "in the 1960s". Mz7 (talk) 14:46, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
I found a video where Mr. Ford talks about his aviation history, quote "When I was in college in about 1962 I started to take some flying lessons" <snip> "But the $13 or $15 dollars an hour for a pilot and instructor was killing me, so I had to give it up for economic reasons". {{Inflation|US|14|1962|fmt=eq}} is probably the closest we can get to the actual adjusted value.

Pilot/Actor Harrison Ford was awarded the Godfrey L. Cabot Award by AeroClub of New England (ACONE). Ford was recognized for his efforts to promote aviation to the youth of America through the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) and its Young Eagles Program. The event was held in Boston Ma on June 4, 2017. ACONE is the oldest aero club in the Americas, was organized on January 2, 1902, nearly two full years before the Wright brothers made their landmark flight of Dec. 17, 1903. In attendance were the many members of ACONE along with President Mark Baker from Aircraft Pilots and Owners Association, EAA President Jack Pelton, Author Charley Valera and representatives of aviation communities throughout the country.

Perhaps it would make more sense to have a picture of Harrison Ford when he was younger, since (as far as I'm aware – feel free to correct me) he is best known for the roles he played when he was younger (Indiana Jones/Star Wars). Just an idea - Aza24 (talk) 21:10, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

Lead image

I don't believe the lead image on this page is good enough. Firstly, the image rights are questionable. It is supposedly a user's own image. The owner added the image to this article on April Fools Day, and has never uploaded other images or made any edits to film-related articles. [is the picture, for reference].

As for the image itself. Ford in the picture is barely recognizable. Instead of the iconic old man Harrison Ford look, he has a bizarre Abraham Lincoln beard. Images such as [Ford by Gage Skidmore.jpg] (which is used in the Harrison Ford filmography article) and [Ford 2017.jpg] (which is used in his article on the simple Wikipedia) have Harrison Ford look just like the older versions of Rick Deckard and Han Solo. Any thoughts? Painting17 (talk) 20:02, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

Conscientious objector during the Vietnam War

I just watched an interview with Ford in which he said he was drafted during the Vietnam War, but avoided service by becoming a conscientious objector. Here's the full quote, while answering a question about his anti-war views:

"I was invited to go to Vietnam, along with many of my contemporaries, and I said I'm not going. And I went through a long legal process as a conscientious objector. I am anti-war, for whatever that means."

The fact that he was a conscientious objector during the Vietnam War is noteworthy, in my view, and should be noted on his page. It could go either in the personal life section or the activism section- I would probably put it under personal life, since it was before he was famous I don't think it was meant as a public statement.

Here's the link to the video of the interview (the quote above comes at about 32:32):

I would make this change myself, but I don't have enough contributions to have permission to edit this page, so I'm adding this note to the talk section in the hope that someone else will.

That looks like Alec Baldwin on the profile picture. Not Harrison Ford. 2600:1702:3BA0:9390:ADF0:3EAB:74F3:DD46 (talk) 02:39, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

Unverified statement in "early life" section

On November 3rd 2007, the first two sentences of "Early work" (now under career) were revised to include a statement about Ford moving to Los Angeles for radio work. There is no evidence of this ever happening, therefore it would be better to revert back to the original sentence - "In 1964, Ford moved to Los Angeles, California, where he signed a contract with Columbia Pictures for $150 a week in the studio's New Talent program, playing bit roles in films." 2603:6080:8A00:7707:9CB0:4FCB:35CF:2A6A (talk) 22:25, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

Correction in spelling: Change the word "adapted" to read "adopted" in reference to Ford's dietary preferences in the last paragraph of the "Personal Life" section. Elvisomar (talk) 06:44, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

 Partly done: I just removed the sentence, as it looks to be undue. The secondary sourcing (two niche sites about vegetarianism) was not significant enough for a mention, in my view. If someone restores this, please don't say "ditched meat". ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 13:06, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

Grammatical change in the introduction.

"He is currently stars in the Paramount+ western series 1923"

Why is this important enough to be listed in his bio? 2600:1700:5A66:240:E923:88C:6BCC:C916 (talk) 09:41, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

Age incorrect

If Mister Ford was born 13.6.1942 he would be 81 and not 80. 91.154.36.86 (talk) 19:20, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

Infobox has his birthdate as 13 July, not June. Schazjmd (talk) 19:23, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

Radio voice-over career attempt

It looks like an anonymous user added that Harrison Ford unsuccessfully tried to have a career in radio voice-overs before becoming a film actor (see https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Harrison_Ford&diff=prev&oldid=168873418). No source was cited during that edit and I can't seem to find any reputable source verifying it. (There do seem to be a lot of website copying that claim verbatim without attribution, however). I think it should be removed unless we can find a reputable source. Beanwich (talk) 22:37, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

@Beanwich, I haven't been able to find anything to support that claim, including in a bio of Ford (already used in other places in the article), so I revised the sentence to what the bio does support. Schazjmd (talk) 23:10, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

Harrison Ford was in Hanover Street in 1979. It should be included in his filmography. 23.154.184.215 (talk) 00:34, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

 Not done: Hanover Street is listed in Harrison Ford filmography. Schazjmd (talk) 00:38, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

Nidelman

So this is a german name, he has german ancestors, Nidelman is not a russian or a hebrew name. 2003:CA:A707:E100:441E:2232:5F36:2425 (talk) 11:32, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
