Born on this day in 1942, the young Harrison Ford could have never imagined the career he’s had and the lives his work has touched. From his debut in 1966’s Dead Heat on a Merry-Go-Round right through to this years Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, Ford has not only helped bring in more than $9.3 billion at the worldwide box office but been a part of four major franchises in Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Jack Ryan and Blade Runner, with two appearances in the MCU up ahead.

From the entire team at Fantha Tracks, many happy returns and here’s to many, many more.

We’d be remiss if we didn’t wish that other great captain from another galaxy a very happy birthday, so best wishes to Jean-Luc Picard himself Sir Patrick Stewart, who turns 83 today.
