Igor Jijikine
Igor Jijikine is a Russian actor who played Red Army Colonel Antonin Dovchenko in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Spielberg cast him and some other Russian actors as Soviets so that they have authentic accents. Jijikine is also a high-wire trapeze artist in the Cirque du Soleil and no stranger to doing similar movies where he plays a heavy. He performed mandatory military service in the Soviet special forces from 1982 to 1984.
