Ever see an interview with Harrison Ford???

Let's just say he's no Han Solo or Indiana Jones.

After watching one of his movies and then seeing an interview of him, you'll proclaim he is the GREATEST ACTOR ever.

True, he is nothing like his on screen persona.

>> ...you’ll proclaim he is the GREATEST ACTOR ever.

I see what you did, there.

He’s got a bit of the sardonic edge of his iconic movie roles.

Ford’s first gig in Hollywood was as part of Columbia Pictures’ New Talent program, which paid him $150 a week to work in small bit parts in various films as he ostensibly developed his craft. Ford’s first on-screen role (though it was uncredited) came in the 1966 movie Dead Heat on a Merry-Go-Round… in which the future Han Solo played a bellhop.

As you can see in the clip above, it was a pretty tiny part — he has a quick conversation with James Coburn while trying to deliver an envelope — and it’d be hard to predict that the 24-year-old in the green jacket would ultimately become an icon. In fact, that’s exactly what some of the brass at Columbia though, too; as he recalled in an interview with Conan O’Brien, Ford was chastised by Walter Beakel, the head of the New Talent program for not seeming like a movie star during his brief 30 seconds of screen time.

“He said, ‘I saw the rushes from yesterday … You’re never going to make it in this business. The first time Tony Curtis was ever in a movie, he delivered a bag of groceries. You took one look at that guy and you said, That’s a movie star,’” Ford recalled. ”And I leaned across his desk and I said, ‘I thought you were supposed to think that’s a grocery delivery boy.’”

Lol, my brother always said listening to Ford in an interview was akin to watching paint dry. He really is odd.
