: Do you guys think that Tom Selleck or Slyvester Stallone or anybody else would have made a better Indiana Jones than Harrison Ford? If you ask me, I think of all the actors, Harrison Ford is the ideal person because he's the toughest cookie around and at the same time, he does look like an archaelogist. Imagine the spoilt, pampered James Bond-ish kind of person acting as Indy. Whew! Well, I'm certainly grateful that Harrison Ford got the part. :) No offense to Tom Selleck, Slyvester Stallone or James Bond fans,ok?
...none other than Humphrey Bogart. Harrison Ford is so much the embodiment of Humphrey. He is the modern-day Bogie! Roger Ebert said in his Raiders review that Harrison Ford plays the part like Humphrey Bogart in THE TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE with his tongue in his cheek.
