Jason Segel, Jessica Williams and Christa Miller of Apple TV+’s Shrinking discussed Harrison Ford’s contributions on and off camera, during the Contenders TV panel with co-creator Brett Goldstein.
Williams sang “Every Morning” by Sugar Ray with Ford onscreen and said the veteran actor said had the final, and only, say about which song they sang together.
“I sent 10 songs and most of them were like, ‘no,’” Williams said. “It was mostly no, and it was the one that Harrison could stomach probably. That was the one he came back with. I cannot listen to that song without thinking of him anymore.”
Ford plays a veteran therapist and mentor to Segel’s character, a grieving widower therapist whose style with clients changes after his loss. Segel said Ford copied his casual wardrobe. Segel wore a jumpsuit to set since he would change into his wardrobe anyway.

“He was eyeing the jumpsuit,” Segel said. “I said, ‘You checking out my flight suit, Harrison?’ to try to be sassy to him. He said [does Harrison Ford impression], ‘I sure am, kid.’ The next day he showed up in a matching jumpsuit. He did bright pink.”
Miller, also the show’s music supervisor, shared that Ford likes to drive the golf carts on set recklessly. Remember, Ford survived a plane crash and emergency landings as a small-plane pilot.
“I was so afraid that I was going to just fly out of that golf cart by the time I got to set, “ Miller said. “He teases us too. He plays pranks and teases us, so we actually got to give him shit as well.”

Below, titans of the American theater — actors like Chita Rivera and Joel Grey — are gathering to attend the opening night of a new musical by John Kander and Fred Ebb, a duo who gave Broadway shows like “Cabaret” and “Chicago.” But on the roof — on top of “New York, New York” — the air is still.
