Harrison Ford

Landing a fantastic, highly-coveted role — like Jacob Dutton in the 'Yellowstone' prequel '1923' — is nothing new for Harrison Ford.

Ford also starred alongside his 1923 co-star Helen Mirren back in 1986 when they played a husband and wife in The Mosquito Coast. The Star Wars alum noted that Costner told the film’s producers that he would certainly step away from the role if the part went to Ford. “The story that I know is that there were two threesomes that they narrowed it down to, and I was in one of them. “I’ve been enormously lucky,” Ford confessed in 2010. Ford made his film debut in 1966 when he played a bellhop in the film Dead Heat On a Merry-Go-Round. Overall, audiences have spent more than $9.3 billion at the box office to see Ford on the big screen. After meeting Lucas on the set of American Graffiti, Ford didn’t do much acting and returned to working as a carpenter. This was when Roos convinced Lucas to bring Ford in to I play people who have particular dilemmas and if it comes off as heroic, then it’s a cultural definition of the behavior.” But according to the legendary actor, he doesn’t play heroes. As Jacob Dutton — an ancestor of [Kevin Costner’s John Dutton](https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/yellowstone-prequel-1923-how-kevin-costner-harrison-fords-characters-related.html/) from Yellowstone — Ford will star alongside Oscar-winner [Helen Mirren](https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/1923-helen-mirren-remembers-calling-kelly-reilly-star-worked-together-decades-ago.html/), who plays his wife, Cara. But it wasn’t until 1973’s American Graffiti — when he played big-talking townie Bob Falfa — that he had his first dose of luck.
