Growing up, Ford and his brother were self-described liberals “of every stripe”.
Ford was also a Boy Scout, achieving the second-highest rank of ‘Life Scout’, a position which would later inspire Steven Spielberg’s portrayal of a young Indiana Jones in the 1989 film Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

Ford’s rise to fame started off slowly, with the actor taking the initial phase of his career seriously and mostly appearing in uncredited roles.
Ford jokingly referred to himself as a “late bloomer”, but eventually that would change. In 1977, Ford experienced his big break when he was cast as the legendary Han Solo in Star Wars.
