George Lucas didn’t want to cast Harrison Ford

Harrison Ford made the role of Indiana Jones his own but George Lucas was wary of casting the star after they had worked on the 'Star Wars' films together - fearing that they would become linked like Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro.

Tom Selleck had been eyed for the part and even did a screen test but he was unable to commit because of his work on the TV series 'Magnum, P.I.'
