Harrison Ford on Playing the Real-Life Branch Rickey in Jackie Robinson Biopic ’42’

It’s almost impossible to believe that Harrison Ford is now seventy and is now a regular in “older men” roles. But the seemingly ageless Ford has put Indiana Jones behind him (well, most hope) in order to appear in more dramatic roles, such as the Jackie Robinson biopic 42.
