Legendary Hollywood Icon Harrison Ford was born on July 13, 1942 in Chicago, Illinois. His family history includes a strong lineage of actors, radio personalities, and models. Ford attended public high school in Park Ridge, Illinois where he was a member of the school Radio Station WMTH. Ford worked as the lead voice for sports reporting at WMTH for several years. Acting wasn't a major interest to Ford until his junior year at Ripon College when he first took an acting class. Ford's career started in 1964 when he travelled to California in search of a voice-over job. He never received that position, but instead signed a contract with Columbia Pictures where he earned $150 weekly to play small fill in roles in various films. Through the '60s Ford worked on several TV shows including Gunsmoke, Ironside, Kung Fu, and American Style. It wasn't until 1967 that he received his first credited role in the Western film, A Time for Killing. Dissatisfied with the meager roles he was being offered, Ford took a hiatus from acting to work as a self-employed carpenter. This seemingly odd diversion turned out to be a blessing in disguise for Harrison's acting career when he was soon hired by famous film producer George Lucas. This was a turning point in Ford's life that led to him be casted in milestone roles such as Han Solo and Indiana Jones. Since his most famous roles in the original Star Wars trilogy and Raiders of the Lost Ark, Ford has appeared in over 40 films. Many criticize his late-career work, saying his performances have been lackluster, leading to commercially disappointing films. Ford has always worked hard to protect his off-screen private life, keeping details about his children and marriages quiet. He has a total of five children including one recent adoption with third and current wife Calista Flockhart. In addition to acting, Ford is passionate about environmental conservation, aviation, and archeology.

Suggested by matthewfenner
Set in the quiet heart of Smallville, this R-rated origin story follows 15-year-old Clark Kent at the end of his freshman year—a kid learning to balance adolescence, secrets, and the growing burden of being different. For two months, he’s been secretly fighting low-level criminals as Superboy, hiding behind a mask and a homemade costume: a blue longsleeve T-shirt with a painted Superman logo, jeans, and red Converse shoes. But Clark’s world changes when his shy, reclusive classmate Matthew Thomson begins to change. After enduring years of relentless bullying, Matthew’s mind snaps the moment his telekinetic powers emerge, transforming his pain into pure rage. One by one, his tormentors die—thrown, crushed, torn apart by invisible force—until six are dead and four remain. Now, Smallville is gripped by fear, and Clark is forced into his first true test as a hero. Facing Matthew means confronting someone his own age, someone not born evil but broken by cruelty. Their showdown is raw and tragic, filled with moral conflict and devastating power. Clark must decide how far he’ll go to stop his friend before he kills again—and whether justice means saving Matthew or ending him. The battle leaves Smallville scarred, and Clark forever changed, realizing that being a hero isn’t about glory—it’s about sacrifice, compassion, and the heavy cost of doing what’s right.
