Ridley Scott defended casting Harrison Ford in "Blade Runner" against financiers' doubts in a recent interview.

In a recent GQ interview, director Ridley Scott revealed that financiers of the 1982 film "Blade Runner" had doubts about casting Harrison Ford as the lead. Despite Ford's roles in "Star Wars" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark," he was not seen as a guaranteed star at the time. Scott defended his choice, predicting Ford's future success, which was later proven by the actor's continued prominence and "Blade Runner's" eventual status as a cult classic.
