Oregon Movies, A to Z

Is it my imagination or is actor-producer Harrison “I ALREADY WORK AROUND THE CLOCK!” Ford letting his front office anxiety inform his role as the overworked scientist in Extraordinary Measures? He wouldn’t be the first. Robert De Niro gave a noticeably tense, superficial performance in We’re No Angels (1989), his first time out as an actor-producer. You could practically see him mentally counting out the payroll, and wishing the job was over.

To see an earlier Ford – with fewer fiscal responsibilities- see him in his first credited movie role  Getting Straight (1970), shot in Eugene.

A Fordism: ” I am Irish as a person, but I feel Jewish an an actor.”
