10 Famous Actors Who Can't Help Doing The Same Thing In Every Movie

8. Harrison Ford Is Called "Jack"

As Witnessed In: Getting Straight, Working Girl, Patriot Games, Clear And Present Danger, Firewall, Paranoia We've already touched on the fact that Harrison Ford likes to play characters who spout variations of the line, "My wife! My kids! My family!", and also that - whenever one of his roles requires him to be annoyed - he raises he index finger in the air and demands respect: but have you also ever noticed that Harrison Ford is pretty much always playing characters called "Jack?" Like, seriously... how many times do you pick up a script and think: "Another character called Jack? I'll do it!" It's also interesting to note that Harrison Ford has a semi-obsession with playing Doctors: he's done it on nine occassions, including the likes Raiders of the Lost Ark, What Lies Beneath, Frantic and The Fugitive. Unfortunately, these two reoccurring aspects have never come together in a way to have a granted us a character called "Dr. Jack Something," though that totally needs to happen in a movie where his wife and kids are missing and he gets to use the trademark index finger.
