The Curse Of Harrison Ford

Proof Ford isn’t just bad for your career, he can kill it stone-dead…

BY Matt Mueller Dec 21st 2009 // 10:10AM FILED UNDER: Features

1Mark Hamill

Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, Return Of The Jedi (1977-1983)

The franchise that propelled Ford’s career into the stratosphere – and he was in career-massacre mode right off the bat, leaving Hamill’s in a pulpy heap by the side of the road.

“So why aren’t I Harrison Ford?” the man who was Luke Skywalker once barked to a reporter. “I don’t know – I’m just NOT.”

Fair play, that's an interesting trend (tho' perhaps a bit harsh on KST).

I know his movie career has completely, completely flopped, but I do recommend Mark Hamill's voicework on Batman: The Animated Series. He's an utterly brilliant Joker (also, Kevin Conroy: best Batman yet).

Nice cameo in Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back, too.

You cannot have KST in this list you just look foolish. On top of the many films she's done recently she won a Bafta and many other awards and nominated for an Oscar for her performance in I've loved you for so long.

Rubbish. Absolute rubbish.

If you had made more of an effort in doing research instead of pushing bad jokes at the end of every paragraph, you might have learned a little more about these people's careers.

Hint: Mark Hamill is not exactly hurting for money. Why? Look it up. You're almost there. Also, he had a recent release in another medium that was a smash hit. Again, look it up.

You're not funny enough so at least act professional.

KAREN ALLEN has been in tons of excellent and successful films...

John Landis "ANIMAL HOUSE"

John Carpenter's "STARMAN"

Paul Newman's "THE GLASS MENAGERIE"

Richard Donner's "SCROOGED"

Spike Lee's "MALCOLM X"

Wolfgang Petersen's "THE PERFECT STORM"

Spielberg's "RAIDERS" and "INDY 4"...

She has also won tons of awards on Broadway...

I know she isn't an A-list celeb, but the woman has had a long and successful career.

Nuff said

Er, I think this was done slightly tongue in cheeky people! Calm down. Although I must admit, Harrison does seem to have the bad luck charm, seems though he has turned it onto himself recently...

Awesome work.

If only someone would cast him alongside Ashton Kutcher or Shia Lebeouf.

You do realize that "Beware Shia LeBeouf" means that the reaer should fear him, right? I suspect you meant, "Beware, Shia LeBeouf", as in an indicaton for him to feal fear for his career.

Comma before a direct address is important as there's a major difference between "Eat, my friends" and "eat my friends", for instance.
