Does Harrison Ford Know His Lines?

Vanity Fair sat down with Harrison Ford and asked him to identify which of his lines he’d said in which movie, mostly as a way of getting him to talk about his career. A few observations:

  • I love that they trolled him with The Star Wars Holiday Special…and he knew the line! “I’ve never seen it, which explains it. But I was there, though.”
  • Harrison Ford was in Apocalypse Now? And George Lucas, when he saw the film (post-Star Wars), didn’t recognize Ford?
  • On Blade Runner: “I like any cut without the narration.”

The story he tells about his first role with lines, in a film called Dead Heat on a Merry-Go-Round, is a good one.

Variety has done a bunch of these videos with actors & directors like Kate Winslet, Greta Gerwig, Carol Burnett, Jeffrey Wright, and Gary Oldman.
