Did you see him in ‘Transformers’? I think that’s where he displayed his ability to potray a little grittiness.

No, was it good?

I'd say 2nd most famous role.

I thought for sure you were talking about Hans Solo.

Is he? His appearance seems to me like that of just about every other young Hollywood actor - childish, somewhat effeminate, not really an adult male.

I would have thought the same until I saw him in Transformers. He didn't appear as boyish as from his TV days. He had to get dirty, sweaty, do a little tumbling. It was the perfect movie for him to make a transformation for his acting career.

And remember when Ford started, if you look at his pics, he was a little soft-looking himself.

I can’t wait for this new movie. Indiana Jones is one of my faves.

Cast members Harrison Ford and Karen Allen...

Wow, they both still look great.

Here's a stumper. Steven Spielburg had a cameo as a city clerk who received a tax payment from the Blues Brothers at the end of this movie.

What was the movie?

I don’t know how Shia LeBeouf gets work, honestly. I haven’t even seen the movie yet and I know he will be the thing I hate most about the film. He is an untalented tool whose presence in Constantine dragged it down, whose appearance in I, Robot was pure annoyance, who seemed to show up whenever a generic cast ‘kid’ was involved (seriously—think of a kid randomly appearing in a heavily promoted summer flick in the last ten years, and he usually popped up as that kid).

Now I’m sure we’ll be subjected to endless promotion of this drone until he hopefully proves himself the new Eric Bana, unable to carry a film. I’m sick of casting agents foisting onto America their pals and relatives, especially when they put these kids in roles where they simply don’t fit.

“Here’s a stumper. Steven Spielburg had a cameo as a city clerk who received a tax payment from the Blues Brothers at the end of this movie. What was the movie?”

Gosh...duh...Three Men and a Baby?

C’mon. Gimme a tough one.

How about this one:

Which member of the Blues Brothers Movie original cast was in an Oscar winning Best Picture—with Bing Crosby—in which neither was credited for their roles?

Now THAT is a stumper.

I'd say 2nd most famous role.

Too true. Everyone knows Ford's most famous role is Nick Faldo.

When I was a little kid when I first saw Raiders, I couldn’t believe that Han and Indy were the same actor. They seemed so distinct for some reason.

Kathleen Freeman. I thought everybody knew that!

Here's one. What is the name of the Lone Ranger's nephew's horse?

Victor, of course.

Okay, so you’re tossing around easy ones. Here’s another: who underwent a double mastectomy about 15 years ago, and also appeared in Speed Racer just this year?

Did you see ‘The Greatest Game Ever Played’ with Shia? He did very well...I heard he also was good in the remake of ‘Rear Window’ called ‘Disturbia.’

Totally different...and the same thing with 'Witness.'

Exactly, and no one else could play this role IMO...
