Definitely one of my favorites.
I heard somewhere that he liked to chose roles playing an "ordinary" guy thrown into extraordinary situations. That sums up a lot of his films.

He's not a good actor at all.
I like Harrison Ford a lot, but he has never really acted in anything.
Acting is where you can take on the personality and traits of totally different characters. He doesn't really do that, ever, and he's more of the "leading man" type of actor.
Once again, Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, and so on are more like "themselves" on screen and they never play characters.
Harrison Ford is typically a great "presence" in films and stands out as a leading man, but I don't think he's acting much. -

I can only assume you’ve never watched Ford’s films. His roles in Witness, Mosquito Coast and The Conversation were completely different to Indiana Jones, Star Wars or Blade Runner.
And saying Tom Cruise/Jack Nicholson only ever “played themselves” is ignoring most of their best roles.
Going by your logic then we would also say De Niro, Pacino, Paul Newman, James Stewart, were never great actors simply because they never became unrecognizable with makeup or putting on a fake accent. You seem to have a shallow perspective on what acting actually involves. -

I dunno what you are going on about.
He gets work all the time.
Has been some of the most iconic characters in epic movies like SW, Raider, Amer. Graf. and AF1 etc.
Is married to a cute looking and younger trophy wife that he gets to bang.
And he has more money than all of us put together here on these boards.
So why feel bad for him at all? -

he is NOT one of the great actors
he is one of the coolest movie stars
his performances of Han Solo and Indiana Jones were fantastic. they were to "fun movies" what Citizen Kane was to dramatic ones, so he's more than just some silly actor, but…
he's a leading man, a movie star. the best actors are character-actors, and he never became one, not really.

he is one of the great actors. it's very important to distinguish between a movie star and an acting legend and a respected actor and ford is actually all 3 of them. but usually actors are respected or movie star.
he is one of the most respected and legendary actors of his time so to say he's not one of the greats actors is really ignorant. he's up there with spencer tracy, humphrey bogart and the rest of the biggest, most legendary actors of all time. there is a very good reason why he is always in respected movies bc he's such a great actor.
this is why i made this post bc i felt he's never gotten the respect, credit for his amazing acting work over his whole career. this is a reality, you just haven't accepted it.
not true, character actors are not a requisite to be the best actors.
