Henry "Indiana" Walton Jones, Jr., Ph.D., is a fictional professor of archaeology, adventurer, and the main protagonist of the 1981 adventure film Raiders of the Lost Ark, its prequel (Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom), and sequels (Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull). Jones is notable for his trademark bullwhip, fedora, leather jacket, and fear of snakes.
The character is most famously played by Harrison Ford; however, he has also been portrayed by River Phoenix (as the young Indy in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade), and in the television series The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles by Corey Carrier, Sean Patrick Flanery, and George Hall. Doug Lee has supplied Indy's voice to two LucasArts video games, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis and Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine, while David Esch supplied Indy's voice to Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb.
In addition to his film and television appearances, the character has been featured in novels, comics, video games, and other media. The fourth theatrical film, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, is currently in post production and scheduled for international simultaneous release on Thursday, May 22, 2008.
