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.

This is the name that'll be displayed next to comments you make on kottke.org; your email will not be displayed publicly. I'd encourage you to use your real name (or at least your first name and last initial) but you can also pick something that you go by when you participate in communities online. Choose something durable and reasonably unique (not "Me" or "anon"). Please don't change this often. No impersonation.
Note: I'm letting folks change their display names because the membership service that kottke.org uses collects full names and I thought some people might not want their names displayed publicly here. If it gets abused, I might disable this feature.
If you feel like this comment goes against the grain of the community guidelines or is otherwise inappropriate, please let me know and I will take a look at it.
