Harrison Ford
You knew this one was coming, right? After breaking out in The Conversation and American Graffiti (above), he wasn’t yet one of the biggest stars of the 1970s. But Harrison Ford legendarily snagged the role of Han Solo in Star Wars while agreeing to run lines with actors auditioning for the film.
Soon he was starring in Blade Runner, Working Girl, two Jack Ryan movies and of course the Indiana Jones films, the latest of which just opened. Ford promises he’s done with the whip and fedora, but given his seemingly boundless energy, who can say?
Ford, 81, also stars on the hit Yellowstone prequel 1923, because retirement apparently never crosses his mind.
