Although he has little left to prove after his numerous appearances, the legendary Harrison Ford continues to make headlines. Having rightfully entered the history of cinema as a true icon of the seventh art—particularly during the '80s and '90s— the American star is still remembered today for his iconic performances in the original "Star Wars" trilogy, "Blade Runner," and, without fail, Steven Spielberg's "Indiana Jones" saga.

Reducing such a brilliant and prolific career to just his most celebrated titles, however, would be reductive, to say the least. From his debut, Ford has worked with masters such as Michelangelo Antonioni in "Zabriskie Point," George Lucas in "American Graffiti," and Francis Ford Coppola in "Apocalypse Now," demonstrating a remarkable ability to span different genres from the very beginning. We've seen him, among other examples, in Andrew Davis's drama "The Fugitive," Roman Polanski's cryptic "Frantic," Robert Zemeckis's psychological thriller "What Lies Beneath" and, more recently, in the world of comic book movies with Julius Onah's "Captain America: Brave New World."

But Ford's versatility isn't limited to the big screen: for his role in the television series "Shrinking"—available on Apple+ and created by Bill Lawrence, known for hits like "Scrubs" and the more recent "Ted Lasso"—the actor earned his first Emmy nomination. While clarifying that he has no intention of abandoning acting, Ford took the opportunity to express some personal thoughts on the true value of awards in the audiovisual landscape. In an interview with Variety, he stated: "I don't think there's anything competitive about creativity, and I don't understand the need to compare and compete with one person's work. If you like it, you like it; if you don't like it, watch something else."

While reiterating his gratitude for the mention, he added: "I'm grateful, but I would have done what I did, and I'll do what I'm doing, regardless of whether it's considered worthy of mention or not. Because that's what I do, that's what I love to do. I love telling stories. I love pretending to be someone different." Regarding the motivation to take on new projects, especially as he gets older and the opportunity to play new roles, he concluded: "I'll never stop. It's one of those things I thought was interesting about an actor's job: that they also need older people to play older people."
