'I'm underused in new Indiana Jones film - but I owe it to fans to take part'

At 79, you might expect Welsh actor John Rhys-Davies to be pondering a nice, quiet retirement. Especially so because he could split his time between his 30-acre home in New Zealand and sprawling farm on the Isle of Man

Instead, he is back with a bang starring opposite Harrison Ford for the fifth (and possibly final) Indiana Jones film, The Dial of Destiny.

He reprises the role of sidekick Sallah, the Egyptian excavator who first cropped up in 1981’s Raiders of the Lost Ark to help Indy defeat the Nazis. He returned for 1989’s The Last Crusade but sat out the fourth film as there wasn’t a big enough role for him.
