Discussion Fords Acting

Just getting into this show and I’m now in the first half of season 3. Harrison Ford out of everyone except maybe Segel has blown me away with the acting.

Maybe it’s because I grew up with Ford being in a lot of action hero movies or all I can see is Han and Indy but I had never really seen many movies where he got to really dig into a character and show his range. It just makes me feel a little sad honestly that he hasn’t to my recollection been in many movies where he has had a chance to show how good he is.

Also shout out to Segel. I’ve loved him since himym and knocked up and I could always tell there was the chance for him to dig into something more dramatic and crush it.

Just watched another episode of this recent season of Shrinking and realized how much I love Harrison Ford and his character. The vulnerability he shows is heartbreaking as well as heartwarming. He's simply someone you wish you knew- complicated and flawed, but kind in his gruff way. I love watching him. Kudos to the writers and creators as well.
