What is the name of the other guide with Indy in Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)? He is with a donkey and he wears a hat as well. After Indy looks at the old map, the guide pulls a gun on him. Does anyone know the name of the actor and character?

According to IMDB, the actor is Vic Tablian. The character name is Barranca. He plays two characters in the film. He also plays the "Monkey Man", original owner of the monkey (wears an eyepatch and poisons the dates). Tablian also appeared in Young Indiana Jones Chronicles as Demetrios/Claw. Interesting, I didn't realise that.

Vic Tablian played Barranca, the guy who pulls a gun on Indy (& ends up dead with his back full of darts). :dead:

He also played the Monkey Man in "Raiders" (the Egyptian spy on motorbike) and the rotten Demetrios in "Young Indiana and the Curse of the Jackal".
