- "Don't get clever, Boris, you don't know 'im!"

Disguised as American serviceman "Hoover", a Russian soldier accompanied his superiors, Colonels Colonel Dovchenko and Spalko, to infiltrate Nevada's Hangar 51 in 1957. During Indiana Jones' escape, Hoover and Mac drove at Jones' oncoming Dodge M-37 in their staff car; Mac warned the Russian not to get clever. Jones didn't swerve and the cars collided headfirst.
He was seen later in Doom Town along with Franklin and Lincoln, and sat in the back seat of the jeep. Hoover 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.
