Early life change

Harrison Ford was born on July 13, 1942 in Chicago, Illinois, USA. His family has Irish, German, Russian and Jewish ancestry.[1] Ford has described himself as "Jewish as an actor, Irish as a person."[2] He studied at Maine East High School in Park Ridge, Illinois and at Ripon College in Wisconsin.

Before he became successful as an actor, he worked as a carpenter during the 1970s.[3] He is one of the most successful actors in the world. During his early years, he used the name 'Harrison J.

He is most known for his roles as Han Solo from Star Wars and as Indiana Jones in all four Indiana Jones movies. Since then he formed a career relationship with both Steven Spielberg and George Lucas.
