Dewey turned out to be luckier than most - he had made friends of Harrison Ford and George Lucas. Despite Dewey's cheery demeanor, both recognized in Dewey that darkness necessary to play a villain well.
Dewey's work in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom surprised even those who knew him. His riveting work had critics around the globe asking themselves where this genius had come from. Shown here is one of his most hypnotically dark scenes, with Ford.
At long last, Dewey was big-time on the big screen. All he had to do now was enjoy it.
