Now that Ford no longer guarantees that such studio pictures as “Cowboys & Aliens,” “Paranoia,” “Morning Glory,” “Extraordinary Measures” and “Crossing Over” will be hits, he’s free to do whatever he wants, including visiting Comic-Con and a turn in the action ensemble “Expendables 3.” “Why not?” he laughs in our video interview below.
A few thoughts:
- It’s too bad Morning Glories wasn’t more successful since I enjoyed Ford’s performance in that quite a bit and think it’s very much in this “character actor” category that he’s setting into the last couple years.
- I’ve always dug Ford’s approach to acting, that it’s a job, let’s not talk about it too philosophically and the palpable disdain he seems to have for the trappings around just doing that job. He’s a grumpy old man and it’s fantastic. He’d rather be home and you’d better give him a damn good reason to not be there.
- I’m pretty sure Ford is the last person who would ever join Twitter and if he did I think that would be it for me, I’d just half to quit everything related to online work since things like that just shouldn’t happen.
