He is known for his acting work in numerous action-adventure films, including Blade Runner and Patriot Games.

And on Saturday afternoon, Harrison Ford was spotted showing up for work at a studio in Downtown Los Angeles.

The 78-year-old actor appeared to be enjoying his day as he casually arrived at the production facility; he was also seen putting on a facial covering before entering the building.

Ford kept his attire very casual as he wore a flat yellow crewneck sweater on top of a gray t-shirt while stepping out for the day's work. 

He complemented the light shade of his top with a darker-colored pair of blue jeans. 

The Star Wars franchise mainstay wore an interesting-looking pair of slip-on gray shoes that featured dark yellow bottoms.

Ford accessorized with a dark pair of aviator-style sunglasses and a silver watch while arriving at the production facility.

Although the circumstances of the global pandemic has taken a harsh toll on the entertainment industry, the actor is currently working two major projects set to make their debut in the near future.

The American Graffiti actor is currently set to star in a television adaptation of the docuseries The Staircase; the Ford's version has been in development since 2019.

The show, as originally reported by Variety, will focus on the trial of novelist Michael Peterson, who was accused of murdering his wife Kathleen by pushing her down a staircase in 2001.

The writer was initially convicted of murder before his charge was reduced to voluntary manslaughter.

The Staircase will mark the first time that the actor will regularly appear in a television show.

Working hard: Ford has been attached to a project entitled The Staircase since it first entered development in 2019; he is seen at the premiere of The Call of the Wild in February of last year

Ford is also set to reprise his much-loved role of Indiana Jones in the series' upcoming fifth film, which has been in development for many years.

The most recent entry in the action adventure franchise came was 2008's Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, which received mainly positive reviews from critics but polarized the series' fanbase.

Discussions about a fifth movie began shortly after the fourth's release, although the currently-untitled project quickly entered development hell.

After several years of stalled activity, it was announced in 2016 that Ford had officially signed on to reprise his role and that a new film was expected to be released in 2019.

Series co-creator Steven Spielberg was expected to return to the director's chair for the upcoming project, although he later stepped down from the role.

Doing it again: The actor is set to appear in the forthcoming fifth film in the Indiana Jones franchise, which has experienced a difficult development process; he is seen performing in 1984's Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom

Harder than expected: Discussions about a fifth entry in the series began shortly after the release of the fourth film in the franchise, although the project quickly entered development hell; Ford is seen with his costar Sean Connery in 1989's Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade

Logan director James Mangold later stepped up to helm the future film with Spielberg and George Lucas remaining involved as executive producers. 

Last May, the filmmaker sat down for an interview with ComicBook.com and, although he could not offer any specifics about the new Indiana Jones film, he noted that he would attempt to place an 'emotional center' at the core of the movie. 

'I'm always trying to find an emotional center to operate from...I think the most important thing is, in an age when franchises have become a commodity, that serving the same thing again,' he said.

The 57-year-old also spoke about what working on a franchise demanded of him as a director and how he would try to implement that in his filmmaking.

Specifically, Mangold noted that he would have to try 'to push something to someplace new, while also remembering the core reasons why everyone was gathered.'
