Harrison Ford, best known for his iconic cinematic turns as Han Solo and Indiana Jones, has been named the recipient of SAG-AFTRA’s Life Achievement Award. The union’s highest honor recognizes Ford’s extraordinary career as one of Hollywood’s most enduring and successful actors. He will receive the tribute at the 32nd Annual Actor Awards, streaming live on Netflix on Sunday, March 1st, 2026.
“I am deeply honored to be chosen as this year’s recipient of the SAG-AFTRA Life Achievement Award,” Ford said. “To be acknowledged by my fellow actors means a great deal to me. I’ve spent most of my life on film sets, working alongside incredible actors and crews, and I’ve always felt grateful to be part of this community.”
Presented annually to an actor who embodies the “finest ideals of the acting profession,” the Life Achievement Award has previously been bestowed upon Mary Tyler Moore, Sidney Poitier, Betty White, Jane Fonda, Robert De Niro, Elizabeth Taylor, and James Earl Jones.
Ford’s filmography spans some of cinema’s most beloved blockbusters, including the “Star Wars” and “Indiana Jones” franchises, as well as crowd-pleasers like “Air Force One,” “The Fugitive,” and “What Lies Beneath.” Beyond action roles, he has showcased his range in romantic comedies such as “Working Girl” and dramas like “The Mosquito Coast.” His other notable credits include “Blade Runner” and “Witness,” the latter earning him an Academy Award nomination.
Over the course of his career, Ford has received numerous honors, including the Critics’ Choice Career Achievement Award (2024), the Golden Globes’ Cecil B. DeMille Award (2002), and the AFI Life Achievement Award (2000). Most recently, he earned an Emmy nomination for his work on Apple TV’s “Shrinking.”
“Harrison Ford is a singular presence in American life; an actor whose iconic characters have shaped world culture,” said SAG-AFTRA President Sean Astin. “His career has been endlessly exciting, always returning to his love of acting. We are honored to celebrate a legend whose impact on our craft is indelible.”
