Harrison Ford, 83, best known in Korea for the "Indiana Jones" series, will receive the Life Achievement Award from the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA).

SAG-AFTRA announced on January 18 that Ford was selected as the recipient of the union's highest honor, the Life Achievement Award, in recognition of his acting career and humanitarian achievements.

Ford has previously been recognized for his achievements with the Critics' Choice Honorary Award (2024), the Golden Globe Cecil B. DeMille Award (2002), and the American Film Institute (AFI) Life Achievement Award (2000).

"His iconic characters have shaped global culture," said Sean Astin, SAG-AFTRA President. "It's an honor to celebrate a legend who has made an indelible impact on our craft."

Ford said, "Being recognized by my fellow actors means so much to me. I've spent most of my life working on film sets with amazing actors and crew, and I've always been grateful to be part of this community."

Ford rose to global stardom playing "Han Solo" in the first "Star Wars" film in 1977 and went on to lead the success of subsequent Star Wars sequels. In the 1980s, he starred as the protagonist of the "Indiana Jones" series. He also delivered memorable performances in leading roles in "Blade Runner," considered a timeless science fiction masterpiece, as well as "Witness," "Patriot Games," "The Fugitive," "Clear and Present Danger," "Sabrina," "Air Force One," and "What Lies Beneath."
