You may not know the name Anthony Ingruber, but you might well recognise his face - or at least, appreciate the uncanny physical resemblance he bears to a young Harrison Ford.

Ingruber first made a name for himself posting Harrison Ford impersonations to YouTube back in 2008, which eventually led to him being cast as a young version of Ford's character William Jones in the 2015 film The Age of Adaline.

Though a relatively small role, Ingruber's appearance in the film earned the actor major mainstream attention, many expressing shock at how believably he channelled a young Ford.

This also led to a passionate campaign for Ingruber to be cast as a young Han Solo in Solo: A Star Wars Story, which despite him auditioning sadly didn't come to pass, with Alden Ehrenreich landing the part instead.
