Look like Harrison Ford will be playing quite a lengthy role for “Cowboys & Aliens” after all, not cameo or a small role. Ford will be playing Colonel Dolarhyde, which is one of the main charcters of the comic. If you knew the comics for “Cowboys & Aliens”, Colonel Dolarhyde is an aging guy. I looked up the comics. In the comics, the Colonel Dolarhyde character looks exactly like Harrison Ford. Yes, the character is almost Indiana Jones like. No wonder a lot of people wanted Ford for the movie. Ask, and you shall receive.
