Harrison Ford Replaced Tom Selleck in ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’
Harrison Ford as archaeologist Indiana Jones seems like a no-brainer, especially given that the actor has portrayed the role in several films since ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark.’ But can you imagine Tom Selleck as Indiana Jones? It almost happened. Selleck had gotten the role and would have played the character onscreen if he hadn’t been tied up with a previous commitment to his TV show. So, the director had no other choice than to hire Ford, instead, and it was an excellent choice!
