Quintus 5,399 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 http://m.hollywoodreporter.com/race/42-supporting-actor-harrison-ford-666537?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+thr%2Fawards+(The+Hollywood+Reporter+-+Awards)#!/entry/view/id/16393Poor Harrison, lamenting in his old age about being forever typecast. I dunno, I just wish What Lies Beneath wasn't the only time he played the villain. Because he was pretty darn cool at that.Being about baseball, that 42 film is completely unknown in the UK, obviously receiving no marketing whatsoever. Which is a shame - looking at the clips in that link Ford is almost unrecognisable and good. Must seek it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightscape94 965 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Wasn't he a bad guy in that flick that just came out with Gary Oldman? Paranoia? At least it seemed that way from the trailers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

publicist 4,643 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Ford played the 'baddie' in:Mosquito CoastPresumed InnocentThat's stretching it. PI was full of ambigious, unsympathetic characters and in MC he was more a failed dreamer with ruthless ambition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,346 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Of course, but they can't be categorized as the typical nice characters he usually takes on. BTW, when we get to the end of Mosquito Coast, most people want to kill Ford and he's the ruthless killer in Presumed Innocent, isn't he? Some say he's the baddie in Blade Runner too, especially by those who sympathize with the replicants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 He was also a baddie in Air Force One. Think of the million Iraqis he murdered to save a nickel on gasoline! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
