Harrison Ford as Colonel Hyrum Graff

Harrison Ford was born on July 13, 1942 in Chicago, Illinois.  Ford first took an interest in acting in only his senior year of high school, and calls himself a "late bloomer".  Although Ford has been in many other films, he will always be known for his performances in both Star Wars and the Indiana Jones film series.  Ford received the top spot in Empire magazine's "The Top 100 Movie Stars of All Time" in 1997, and it looks like he is not going anywhere.

Harrison Ford's character in Ender's Game is Colonel Hyrum Graff, who is basically the the recruiter for the Battle School.  In this story, Ender and Colonel Graff have their ups and downs, and they never become "close".  However, at one point, Colonel Graff is the only friend Ender has within the confines of the Battle School and they must work together to reach their main goal: train Ender to save humankind.  When I read the book, I imagined Colonel Graff as a younger man that was a little less hardened and a little more unpredictable.  But, as always, I am interested to see how he takes this one on.  Ford does have that sci-fi, deep, announcer-like voice.  Go out and see him tomorrow!!
