In the clip, Ford plays a character on the show that confesses his love to his therapist. We see Ford sobbing miserably when he finds out the feeling is not mutual. You know, Ford's acting ain't that bad. Actually, its' better than many of [Hollywood's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/persol) movie stars. With some practice, he can have something to fall back on if his fashion career goes down. Besides acting, Ford has recently dabbled into modeling as well.
