Ford is known for his performances as the tough, wisecracking space pilot Han Solo in the Star Wars film series, the adventurous archaeologist and action hero, Dr. Henry "Indiana" Jones Junior, in the Indiana Jones film series, and and as the haunted android tracker Rick Deckard in Ridley Scott's cult sci-fi classic, Blade Runner (1982), but his four-decade career also included roles in other Hollywood blockbusters such as Air Force One and The Fugitive . At one point, Ford had roles in the top five box-office hits of all time, though his role in 1982's E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (as Elliot's school principal) was deleted from the final cut of the film. Five of his films have been inducted into the National Film Registry. He was ranked #1 in Empire magazine's "The Top 100 Movie Stars of All Time" list. As of May 2007, the domestic box office grosses of Ford's films total about US$3.10 billion, with worldwide grosses approaching US$6 billion, making Ford the No. 3 domestic box-office star behind Eddie Murphy and Tom Hanks.
