10 Movie Actors With Far More Range Than You Think
2. Harrison Ford
Probably one of the greatest actors of all time; Harrison Ford isn't someone you would say has limited acting skills but a wide acting range? There's definitely a case to say he doesn't have the widest range but is that the truth? Really?
Harrison Ford is immediately recognisable as one of several characters and which character you see first depends entirely on how you best remember him: the gruff Han Solo, the gruff Indiana Jones, the gruff Jack Ryan or perhaps the gruff Rick Deckard... He's got gruff nailed but there's much more to Harrison Ford than a brooding protagonist.
At no time can anyone say that Ford's most famous roles are identical, each character has unique traits that separate them all from each other thanks to the actor's immense ability to disassociate himself from his other work. For example; as Deckard, Ford portrays a more vulnerable character by comparison to Indiana Jones' swashbuckling hero.
They might sound the same but Harrison Ford brings something new to every role he plays and for an actor with such an expansive filmography, you have to applaud and respect his capabilities
