Harrison Ford was in a few movies before he became a huge film star. For example American Graffiti was one of his first, but then he was forgotten until he was working on a set (in carpentry) and George Lucas was casting for actors to appear in Star-Wars. George knew Harrison from American Graffiti (for that was one of his first films he created) and called him over as the guy who was going to be cast for Han Solo didn't show up. Harrison read the lines and George Lucas thought he was perfect for the part. So yeah... i guess you could say he was a carpenter befpre he got into show business...
