Sure, he cracks the whip and saves the world in the 'Indiana Jones' movies, but does HARRISON FORD consider himself a real-life hero?

"No," he says definitively. "I've never been a hero. I don't do that. I play one on TV, but it's just not me."

In part two of MARY HART's exclusive interview with Harrison, the 'Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull' (in theaters May 22) star reveals that TOM SELLECK had already been cast as Indy in 'Raiders of the Lost Ark,' but NBC required him to continue work on "Magnum P.I."

"That's when I got my chance to meet up with STEVEN [SPIELBERG]," says Harrison, who also was up for GEORGE CLOONEY's Oscar-winning role in 'Syriana,' but, "I couldn't figure out how to do it; I didn't feel comfortable with it."

Still, Harrison can claim two of cinema's greatest characters as his own -- Indiana Jones and Han Solo -- and the 65-year-old star modestly quips, "Well, it's better than a real job."
