Harrison Ford has just been honoured with a Life Achievement Award at the 2026 Actor Awards (previously the SAG awards), with the 83-year-old joking in front of Hollywood’s finest that it’s unusual to be recognised in this way at the “half point of my career”.
“I’m incredibly grateful for this kind attention, but to be clear, I also am quite humbled,” he said.
“I’m in a room full of actors because they’ve been nominated to receive a prize for their amazing work, while I’m here to receive a prize for being alive.”
He confirmed that he is very much still a “working actor”, with Ford nominated for two awards just last year for his role in Shrinking.
And, one of his co-stars on the wildly successful comedy drama told WHO she reckons he’d be “mad” but her confession about his character, Dr. Paul Rhoades.
Christa Miller has her eyes set on Harrison Ford’s role in Shrinking
When asked which other character she’d like to play on the show, Christa said she reckon she could play Dr. Rhoades.
“Oh, I could totally play Harrison’s part, he’s based on my psychiatrist. I could totally bring it!” she told WHO. “I could be formidable, and I know all this stuff already. I could totally do it.
“He’d be so mad if he heard me say that!” she admitted.
Miller, who plays the sharp-tongued but deeply vulnerable Liz, admitted she loves bringing her character to life, but if she could choose to step into another role, she’ knows exactly who she’d want to take on Harrison’s character.
It’s a bold admission, and her comment speaks volumes about the dynamic between Liz and Paul in the show: two people who operate very differently.
While Paul is controlled, guarded and blunt, Liz is impulsive, messy and deeply expressive- a contrast that has become increasingly compelling as the series heads into its third season.
What did Christa say about the Shrinking cast?
Speaking to WHO, Miller said the closeness viewers see on screen is reflected behind the scenes, with the cast forming genuine bonds as the show has evolved.
“We have such a tight set… It’s a very close group. The relationships have organically grown with the show, which is a lovely thing. It’s nice to feel like you’ve made new friends that will be in your life forever.”
That sense of trust has allowed characters like Liz to grow in unexpected ways – shifting from comic relief to emotional cornerstone.
What did Christa say about Jason Segel?
When it comes to seeking advice, Miller says one co-star stands out.
“They’ve all given me good advice, but I would have to say Jason Segel because he and I have become very close.
“We get it and have the same kind of outlook on things. So I would have to say, Jason, I would value and respect his advice.”
