Erick Avari is an Indian born American stage, film and television actor, best known for roles in feature films such as "The Beast of War", "Independence Day", "The Mummy", and "Planet of the Apes".
George Lucas and Stephen Spielberg originally conceived Indiana Jones largely as an American adventure film franchise in the vein of the James Bond movies. So what if after 1989's "The Last Crusade" a new Indiana Jones had been cast? Who would have taken up the iconic hat and lasso if the series had passed on the mantle to a new actor every few years in the same way that Bond did?
