Harrison Ford would be happy if 'Shrinking' was his last acting gig

Harrison Ford reflects on his legendary career, suggesting the Apple TV+ series 'Shrinking' would be a fulfilling and sufficient final acting project.

"If it was all over here, that would be sufficient. - Harrison Ford"

Los Angeles, Feb 5

Hollywood actor Harrison Ford seems to be content with the way his career has shaped up. The actor thinks 'Shrinking' would be a "sufficient" end to his legendary career.

The 83-year-old actor, who stars alongside the likes of Christa Miller, Jessica Williams, Michael Urie, Jason Segel and Michael J Fox in the hit Apple TV series, described the show as a "very special" project to work on and admitted he wonders what he could possibly do next to live up to the experience, reports 'Female First UK'.

Speaking during a panel at Apple TV's inaugural press day this week, he said, "Where do you go from here? The kind of work that we're able to do is remarkable given the tools we have to work with, and the notion that lies behind this series. And if it was all over here, that would be sufficient".

The 'Star Wars' and 'Indiana Jones' legend explained how working on Shrinking has been a "different" experience, but one that has been incredibly fulfilling.

He added, "This has been a different kind of job for me, and I've been doing this for a long time. This is very special and it really nurtures me and makes me feel like what we're doing has value and importance. I look for that in my life and I'm happy to have found it here".

As per 'Female First UK', elsewhere during the panel, he admitted he was nervous about working with Michael J Fox on the show, as Harrison's character Dr. Paul Roades has the same condition as the 'Back To The Future' icon.

He said, "It was a bit daunting when I thought about it, because I am representing a character that has Parkinson's, and Michael, of course, has the real thing. I've always felt a real sense of responsibility for getting that part of my story right".

"But Michael is an extraordinary, generous and lovely fellow, who I did not know at all and had a chance to, just working on this show. It was an extraordinary experience to work with him. He is such a powerful presence. Such grace and courage and indomitability, and some of that, I hope, will help me colour my portrayal of a character with Parkinson's", he added.

His humility is so touching. To be such a huge star and still feel nervous about portraying a condition respectfully, especially alongside Michael J. Fox... that shows true character. More power to both of them!

Honestly, I haven't seen 'Shrinking' yet, but if it's good enough for Harrison Ford to call it a day, I should probably watch it this weekend. Apple TV needs better marketing in India though, not many of my friends even know about this show.

It's a bit sad to think this could be his last role. He's been a part of so many childhoods here in India too. Indiana Jones was iconic! But you have to respect his choice to go out on a high note with a project he loves.

His comment about the work having "value and importance" really hits home. That's what we should all seek in our careers, na? Not just a paycheck, but something that feels meaningful. Salute to a great career! 👏

While I respect his sentiment, I do hope he reconsiders! The industry needs actors with his gravitas and experience. One more film wouldn't hurt, would it? Just a friendly request from a lifelong fan.
