How did such a shitty actor keep getting these big roles?
Star Wars
he's got "it"
>he's got "it"
i.e. commie jew
he was in star wars
Kurt Russell was too busy to play Han Solo.
Tom Selleck was doing Magnum PI so he couldn't play Indy.
Blade Runner was given to Ford.
Same way this guy did...
>looks / drawing power
>shitter actor
Absolute pleb sentiment. Ford is first and foremost an everyman, and definitely not a "shitty" actor. Watch Apocalypse Now , Frantic, Witness, Mosquito Coast, Presumed Innocent for some great roles in great films.
You forgot K19
By being a dime piece in his prime
>as an actor I've always felt jewish
Subtle.
They weren't big when he was offered them, except maybe Indi had potential to be big, by then he was friends with Lucas.
>directed by a woman
He replaced James Dean.
>rebellious, sneering, moderately handsome, somewhat an anti-hero.
ford had like 3 lines in apocalypse now
Not really. He's less pretty and more working-class than Dean.
>tfw saw a commercial for that on our small, shitty tv when it came out and the font was so hard to read that I misread it
>tfw my dad started laughing at me like I was a complete retard when I asked him why a nuclear sub was called a Windowmaker
It's a good movie
>You forgot K19
everyone did. That movie did less business than Gili
Probably makes him "more relatable".
Fuck off Ford is great in pretty much everything up until the last Indy movie.
>a minor role can't be a notable performance
It's a significant scene, as you first hear Kurtz's voice, and Ford plays it well for such a minor role.
Ford characters are also more annoyed and faintly confused.
This was the last role in which peak Ford was in play. After that he sank fully into "old man who is no longer capable of giving a shit" mode.
>tfw you'll never get fame and fortune as an actor for literally just beeing urself
Most great actors just play themselves in every role; like De Niro
Plz leave.
I don't know I think it takes a certain undefinable skill to deliver one-liners like "Mola Ram! Prepare to meet Kali... in Hell!" and have it not be corny as fuck.

Indiana Jones was the only big role.
Star Wars was nothing when he was cast.
Blade Runner was something of a surprise hit.
That movie was a downright obstacle course of tricky lines.
Damn, yeah, no one can drink out of a glass quite like him!
those films went big because of him. he was not the only reason but one of the bigger ones.
why does hollowjew keep casting ryan gooseprick? because the audience grew accustomed to his face. same goes for harrison fart.
those...are pretty much his only roles. Two of them from directors and producers who worked closely together and one that was kind of fluke cult hit.
(((nepotism)))
>Watch Apocalypse Now
He is in it for a whole two minutes. He is kinda boring as an actor desu, his best roles are the ones where his character is something of a smartass.
>All Ford ever wanted to be was a carpenter
>All Bridges ever wanted to be was a musician
charisma
Based, I like him even more now
good looks and charm
