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.

The episode opens in a small house as a young boy who looks to be about 16 walks down a dark hallway and into the living room where he finds himself home alone. He looks around for a bit but then takes out his phone and calls him mother who tells him they left and weren't coming back. The boy asks why but she hangs up and the boy sits on the couch and just cries. We cut to X-Mansion where Professor Charles Xavier and his best friend Eric Lensherr are walking up the stairs and over to Xavier's office to discuss Charles's idea to make a school for mutants who don't have anyone. Eric asks Charles if he really thinks this is smart considering the world hates mutants and would probably shut this down immediately. Charles tells Eric that the world doesn't have to know and they can do it in secret until the world changes their view. Charles goes downstairs and talks with Hank Mccoy a scientist whose mutant ability was unlocked at the age of 22 which gave him incredible strength and now at the age of 36 is helping Charles Xavier start his school. Hank tells Charles that him and Raven Darkholme another friend of Charles found a boy whose family abandoned him because of his abilities. Charles goes up to the boy who tells him his name is Bobby Drake. Charles looks at the boy and starts to see something familiar. The episode ends as Charles takes Bobby to meet the other students Scott Summers, Warren Worthington III, and Jean Grey.
