The A-lister has starred in two of the most notable film franchises of all time — Lucasfilm, Ltd.’s Star Wars and Indiana Jones — cementing himself as a legend in the cinematic community.
Now, Ford has inked a deal for his very first recurring role in a television series. The 79-year-old actor has joined the cast of Bill Lawrence and Brett Goldstein new Apple TV+ series. The duo behind hit show Ted Lasso have also cast Jason Segel in the show.
The series, picked up in October 2021, centers a grieving therapist (Segel) who begins to break the rules and tell his clients exactly what he thinks. Ignoring his training and ethics, he finds himself making huge changes to people’s lives — including his own.
Ford will play Dr. Phil Rhodes, a down-to-earth and sharp “blue-collar shrink” and pioneer in cognitive behavioral therapy. He shares a practice with two of his protégés, Jimmy (Segel) and Gaby, and has recently been diagnosed with Parkinson’s, which forces him out of his comfort zone as he deals with intrusive friends, his estranged family, and his legacy.
