That's right, I forgot he played Frederick Selous in that episode. It's too bad he didn't gain greater notoriety than that. And a very good performance, at that. It is curious that he didn’t gain greater notoriety; he’s a very good actor. If I have one main criticism of Raiders, it’s that not enough was done with the Belloq character: the “anti-Indy”/“shadowy reflection” idea is very intriguing, but outside the scene in the café (where Indy looks and acts more like Bogey than in any other part of the movie—I think that was the original characterization?) that concept simply doesn’t come across. One thing that’s interesting about Raiders is how Indy comes in fully-formed, with a backstory we don’t really (or detailedly) know: the fear of snakes, Belloq, Jock, Sallah, even the Marion backstory. It makes it feel like he has a lot of history, and we’re only seeing one part; I appreciate that. |
