Harrison Ford has landed his first ever Emmy nomination.
The Hollywood legend reached the new milestone Tuesday, earning his first-ever nomination on Tuesday for his role in the Apple TV+ comedy 'Shrinking," in the category of best supporting actor in a comedy series.
Ford will compete against Ike Barinholtz, Colman Domingo, Jeff Hiller, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Michael Urie, and Bowen Yang.
He had been tipped to receive a nomination last year for the show's debut season but he was bested by The Bear's Ebon Moss-Bachrach, who won, and Lionel Boyce, Hack's Paul W. Downs, Only Murders In The Building's Paul Rudd, Abbott Elementary's Tyler James Williams, and SNL's Bowen Yang.
Last year, the series scored an Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series nomination for Jason Segel and an Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for Jessica Williams.
The "Star Wars" star also received a Best Supporting Actor – Series, Miniseries or Television Film nomination at this year's Golden Globes and a nom for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series at the Screen Actors Guild Awards but didn't win either.
Ford stars as Paul Rhoades, well-known and experienced psychotherapist and Jimmy's (Jason Segel) mentor at their workplace. A bit of a curmudgeon who draws comparisons to Batman and more, Paul has a bit of his ego and can come off arrogant at times, but he cares for his patients and for the people in his life that he loves. Paul also has Parkinson's disease.
"Shrinking" co-creators Bill Lawrence and Brett Goldstein, who moved from behind the camera to guest-starring in Season 2 as a very notable role, Louis Winston, both have a 'deep history' with the illness as both of their fathers have been diagnosed with it.
Lawrence also mentioned that his 'mentor' Michael J. Fox, influenced the portrayal of Parkinson's in the series.
Fox has been cast in Season 3 of the comedy series.
Apart from this arc for Paul Rhoades, he often finds himself placating Jimmy, who worries a lot about his patients and will bend over backwards to help them.
Paul is big on boundaries, and he calls his home his 'fortress of solitude.' He also did secret 'chats' with Jimmy's daughter Alice (Lukita Maxwell) in Season 1 that Jimmy eventually found out about. Of course, they were mini therapy sessions.
Ford hasn't made a great deal of television; he started his career with small roles on shows such as "Ironside," "The FBI," "Gunsmoke," and "Kung Fu" before moving on to movies. His first major role was in Paramount+'s "1923".
He was Oscar-nominated for his leading role in the 1996 film "Witness".
