CHARACTER
Hoover
Gender	Male
Death	1957 Doom Town, Nevada, USA
Nationality	Soviet
Profession(s)	Soldier
Allegiance(s)	Soviet Special Forces

Disguised as American serviceman "Hoover", a Russian soldier accompanied his superiors, Colonel Dovchenko and Irina Spalko, to infiltrate Hangar 51 in Nevada. During Indiana Jones' escape, Hoover and Mac drove at Jones' oncoming Dodge M-37 in their staff car; Mac warned the Russian "Don't get clever, Boris, you don't know 'im!" Jones didn't swerve and the cars collided headfirst.

He is seen later in Doom Town along with Franklin and Lincoln, and sits in the back seat of the jeep. He was killed when the atomic blast caught up to their vehicle.

Behind the scenes

Given that "Boris" was a name commonly associated in American culture for being Russian, it is more likely that "Boris" was just a quick nickname Mac thought up for him, than being his actual Russian name.

The role of "Hoover" was not credited in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
