Fan Casting Vadim Cheslav in Indiana Jones and the Saucer Men From Mars

A charming, dashing Russian spy with a distinctly "cowboy" flair. He disguises himself as an older cowboy at Al's Atomic Diner, shoots two MPs in the head with a silenced pistol, and spins the gun around his finger before holstering it. He is Indy's equal—they know each other from WWII. Sophisticated, ruthless, and darkly humorous, Cheslav kidnaps Elaine, almost escapes with the alien device, and ultimately meets a horrifying end when the device's power melts him. He is a Russian James Bond—and Indy's most entertaining adversary.
