The audition
Harrison Ford’s acting career was just slowly building up into something big, but that fact was unaware to him at the time. He had a role in a much earlier George Lucas film named American Graffiti that generated some buzz. But apart from that no one really knew who he was.
It was only years later that he would get his big break playing Han Solo in the original trilogy films. He did not even expect to get the role or audition, in fact, he came to work on set as an extra hand. They asked him to audition for the part after seeing his face and the rest was history.
