You might know that early in his career, Harrison Ford was credited as “Harrison J. Ford.” But did you know that the ‘j’ doesn’t stand for anything? Harrison Ford doesn’t even have a middle name. He adopted it to avoid any confusion with another actor named Harrison Ford, who’d had a lengthy career in the silent film era and died in 1957. That’s just one of the incredible Harrson Ford facts featured in the newest episode of You Think You Know Movies!

Today, Harrison Ford is revered all around the world as Han Solo, the smuggler with a heart of gold from Star Wars. But Ford wasn’t even originally supposed to try out for the part of Han Solo. Instead, George Lucas brought him to simply read opposite the candidates for the roles of Luke and Leia. Eventually, Lucas liked him so much playing off Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher, that he decided he was the one for the role, and his career took off from there.
