Yeah I'd really like to hear his take on the character

I probably would ask any questions, but probably thank him for so many years of enjoyment of MPI, Jesse Stone and his other work.
But, I would most definitely ask if I could have a picture taken with him!!!

I think I would ask him how he really feels, after all this time, about having to turn down the role of Indiana Jones. It's such a great thing that he honored his MPI contract, but I wonder if it doesn't bother him more than he lets on.
Higgins: You've washed the car?! How extraordinary. Why would you do such a thing?

You're most likely right. I think I'd be too starstruck to think up any question that sounded reasonable. After regaining my ability to speak, I'd probably thank him just as you said. By the way, I hear he's very good about having his photo taken with fans. If you treat him with respect, he'll bend over backwards for you. At least that's what I hear.

Selleck would not have been as good an Indiana Jones as Harrison Ford. Just like Magnum would not have worked without Selleck, Indiana Jones would not have been great without Harrison. We cannot just assume that the same outcomes would have been achieved from the Raiders movies with different lead roles just like we cannot assume MPI would have been as great without TS as the lead.

Back to the Future without MJF and Christopher Lloyd? No! It would not have worked...
