Trivia: What “Lord of the Rings” star portrayed Sallah in “Indiana Jones” films?
Viggo Mortensen
John Rhys-Davies
Orlando Bloom
Elijah Wood
The correct answer is John Rhys-Davies
So why is this answer correct? : One of Indiana Jones’ most trusted confidants is the character Sallah Mohammed Faisel el-Kahir, portrayed by actor John Rhys-Davies. The fez-wearing Sallah debuted in 1981’s “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” and later returned in “The Last Crusade” and “Dial of Destiny.” Sallah’s optimism and bubbly personality serve as a comedic foil to Indiana’s curmudgeonly nature.
