Harrison Ford

Ford lived a "rags to riches" life. Before Ford became Han Solo, he was a carpenter that worked odd jobs to support his sick mother and father. He got hired to build cabinets for George Lucas's personal home, and they became friends. Lucas offered Ford a role in American Graffiti, then Star Wars, and finally, Indiana Jones.
