Star Wars and Indiana Jones legend Harrison Ford has been named the 61st recipient of SAG-AFTRA's Life Achievement Award.
"Harrison Ford is a singular presence in American life; an actor whose iconic characters have shaped world culture," SAG-AFTRA President Sean Astin said in a press release Thursday.
"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."
Ford, who recently embarked on a successful TV career with starring roles in 1923 and Shrinking, is known for being a humble man of few words.
"I am deeply honored to be chosen as this year's recipient of the SAG-AFTRA Life Achievement Award," he said in a his own statement."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."
