“Give ‘em hell Indiana Jones!” The booming voice of actor John Rhys-Davies roars in the trailer for one of this summer’s most-anticipated blockbusters, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. John returns as Indy’s Egyptian excavator friend Sallah, a role he first played in Raiders of the Lost Ark in 1981.
John plays Sallah in three of the five Indiana Jones films, sitting out on the Temple of Doom (1984) and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008). That doesn’t make his character any less beloved, though, and he's considered a fan favourite in the franchise.
To many people John will be known for his role as the dwarf Gimli in The Lord of the Rings series. What’s your favourite John Rhys-Davies role? Let us know in the comments.
