Instead of enjoying a restful retirement, Ford is working harder than people half his age. He spent much of last year shooting the third season of his Emmy-nominated therapist sitcom Shrinking. When he’s not acting, he’s joining his CI colleagues in boardrooms with high-profile leaders such as French president Emmanuel Macron, petitioning for urgent resources to fight wildfires in Brazil, for commitments to conservation frameworks like the UN’s High Seas Treaty, and more. His superstar clout helps bring to the table the kind of state-level decision-makers necessary to accomplish anything of global consequence. And the depth of his commitment—the knowledge that he’s no one-off celebrity spokesperson, that he’ll be back in a year to follow up—helps hold them to account.
