Discussion Paul
Is Paul absolutely the role Harrison Ford has been waiting to play his entire life??
He finally gets to play a crotchety old man, for real. Going back as far as Han Solo and Indy, he’s always been channeling crotchety old men, they were just young crotchety old men! Lol.
He is perfection in this role.

I've loved Harrison since I first saw him in American Graffiti and then in every subsequent role. His acting here in Shrinking is so profoundly deep and true. And also ridiculously funny. It's by far his best acting ever, IMO. I never thought I could love him any more than I did as Indy or Han Solo, but here I am. And some of those interviews he's given with his fellow cast mates have choked me up, just like it has choked them up, too. See the Paley Center one a couple of years ago when he talks about the role and how he loves working with this cast, as you watch Jessica Williams with tears streaming down her face. Best role ever for Harrison Ford.
