Makes me think of how quickly these actors seem to age. It seems like just yesterday Indian Jones was cracking the whip against the Nazis. Now I don’t know, I picture him as this old guy who keeps falling off this blade he’s supposed to be running on.

He was almost 40 when "Raiders of the Lost Ark" came out, that was 33 years ago.

Not so fast.

Wow. Well, I know pat of it is theses actors work fairly brutal hours when they work. But I guess that would make him what - 73 years old?! Dang, hard to believe. Let's see - I mean he played a high school hot rodder in American Graffiti around 1969. Heck, that was what - 45 years ago? I guess that would still put him in his 60's. Maybe it's also because movies sort of make time stand still while the actors keep on getting older and later we get surprised by the aging process. For some reason though it seems like they age faster than the rest of us.

Either way, he may have a tough time coming across like a tough guy running along a blade and not falling off. That's probably not what "Blade Runner" means, but that's image it conjures up for me.
