Ford achieved another huge career boost when he starred as Indiana Jones in the Lucas/Spielberg collaboration Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981). He reprised the role for the prequel Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984), and the sequel Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989), which turned Ford himself into a blockbuster phenomenon. He again reprised his role as Indiana Jones for a 1993 episode of the television series The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles and for the 2008 film Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Unlike many other actors of the same or similar genre, Ford's authenticity as a daring action hero was supported by his willingness to perform many of his own stunts for the Indiana Jones films.
