Harrison Ford to be presented with SAG-AFTRA accolade

Harrison Ford is to receive a lifetime achievement award from SAG-AFTRA in March!

This is in recognition of his six-decade-long career and global impact he made through TV.

Sean Astin, the union's president, lauded Ford as "a singular presence in American life; an actor whose iconic characters have shaped world culture."

He added: "We are honoured to celebrate a legend whose impact on our craft is indelible."

The 83-year-old star will accept the Life Achievement Award on March 1 at the 32nd Actor Awards, presented by the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists.

Ford has numerous iconic roles and became a global star as Han Solo in the 1977 Star Wars, reprising the role several times as the first film grew into a franchise.

As swashbuckling archaeologist Indiana Jones, he launched another franchise in 1981 with Raiders of the Lost Ark. And he starred in two Blade Runner movies as Rick Deckard, along with a full slate of television roles.

Through the years, Ford has earned numerous accolades, including the Critics' Choice Career Achievement Award (2024), Golden Globes Cecil B DeMille Award (2002), AFI Life Achievement Award (2000) and more.

Expressing his gratitude, Harrison Ford stated: "I am deeply honoured to be chosen as this year’s recipient of the SAG-AFTRA Life Achievement Award. To be acknowledged by my fellow actors means a great deal to me. I’ve spent most of my life on film sets, working alongside incredible actors and crews, and I’ve always felt grateful to be part of this community."
