Harrison Ford, 83, Finally Snags First Emmy Nomination! Find Out How!
Harrison Ford Nominated for Emmy at 83!
Hollywood legend Harrison Ford has achieved a new milestone in his illustrious career. At the age of 83, Ford has received his first-ever Emmy Award nomination for his role as Dr. Paul Rhodes in the Apple TV+ comedy series, Shrinking. This nomination marks a significant moment for the actor, who has been a staple of the film industry for decades.
The Emmy nomination is for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series. Ford's portrayal of Dr. Rhodes, a therapist grappling with personal challenges, has resonated with audiences and critics alike. The show itself has garnered a total of four nominations, including Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for Jason Segel, Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy for Jessica Williams, and Outstanding Comedy Series.
Shrinking, which premiered in 2023, follows the story of a grieving therapist, Jimmy (played by Jason Segel), who starts to break the rules and tell his clients exactly what he thinks. Ford's character, Dr. Rhodes, is a senior therapist and colleague of Jimmy's, providing a contrasting, more traditional approach to therapy.
Michael Urie, another star in Shrinking who also received an Emmy nomination, shared his admiration for Ford. "He is a consummate actor. He's prepared. He always has an idea. He's always on time. He has this gruff persona, but it's not real. He's really actually a softie and he loves people and he loves talking to people. He's very curious," Urie said.
This nomination places Harrison Ford as the second oldest nominee in the category. It acknowledges Ford's enduring talent and his ability to connect with audiences in a new and meaningful way. Fans and colleagues alike are celebrating this achievement, recognizing it as a well-deserved honor for an actor who has contributed so much to the world of entertainment.
The 2025 Emmy Awards promises to be an exciting event, with Shrinking poised to be a major contender. Whether Ford takes home the award or not, his nomination is a testament to his remarkable career and his continued relevance in the industry.
