As you may or may not know, Harrison Ford made a cameo appearance in Steven Spielberg's classic sci-fi film E.T. The scene he shot ended up being deleted from the film, but the footage is online to watch. I actually included it below in case you've never seen.
During a recent interview with Spielberg and actor Henry Thomas, who played Elliot in the film, they reveal the untold story of how this whole cameo came about. Thomas explains:
“When I met Steven, the first thing out of my mouth was I think, ‘I love Raiders of the Lost Ark,’ and my hero was Harrison Ford. I basically was just excited to meet Steven in hopes that I would meet Harrison.”
He ended up getting is wish! Ford was dating E.T. screenwriter Melissa Mathison at the time and when he was asked to do a little cameo in the film he agreed.
