IT'S TRUE!

Harrison Ford is an accomplished carpenter and applied the craft as a way to supplement his income when his earlier movie roles weren't bringing in enough to support his family. His carpentry work eventually landed him his first starring film role. In 1975, Ford was fitting a door of a movie set, when George Lucas asked him to help out by reading lines written for the male lead of Star Wars. Lucas was eventually won over by Ford's portrayal and cast him as Han Solo.
