Sadly, I have to agree with this article. It's nice to be reminded of the diverse resume of Indiana Solo, but there's a whole lotta years that have passed, and very few still to come. Respect is deserved for his endurance and creativity in roles, too bad C&A isn't what it could have been (for him, for his career, and for his fans esp. of "my" generation).

But maybe he can become the next Leslie Nielsen?

...then he could finally stop having to deal with questions about that "iconic" series of movies he's not exactly excited to talk about.

Well I think part of the problem is that when you see him in a film you expect greatness because he's been in some of the highest grossing films of all time.

I think there's probably a few films left in him, sorta like Clint Eastwood, just when you think he's out of it he jumps back on the scene.

Agreed; just look at Liam Neeson, now he's the "guy who surprisingly gets violent while seeking revenge" right now

Liam "soft spoken ass kicker" Neeson?

I feel kinda bad for him because he has what I call "John Agar syndrome"; he's not a bad actor, quite likeable actually, but been in so many crappy movies its hard to take him seriously. For every "Schindler's List" there are 3 "Krull"s on his resume...

If Harrison just allows himself to really trust his safety harness, then maybe...

Hm, I watched it, but I didn't notice a favorite movie question... Though I was rather tired when I watched it. Did however notice a "favourite character" question.

Sorry you're right, it was favorite "CHARACTER" but to me it's really it's the same thing; @ 2:13 he responds virtually instantly "I've got 5 kids... who's your favorite kid? It doesn't work that way, they're all different, they're all special" imo his on-the-spot wording was just amazingly perfect and mind-blowing... so much respect to the man.

Yeah, see that's what I thought the answer to favourite character that he played was.
