Not only was the premiere of Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny a memorable event for everyone who attended be they cast, crew or fans, but for two Disney cast members it was a night they’ll never forget. While it’s very much being hammered home that Harrison Ford is the one and only Indiana Jones, plenty of other performers have donned the sable fedora and one of those performers was Kevin Brassard who originated the role in the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular at Walt Disney World in Orlando. Kevin and fellow Disney stunt performer Michele Waitman got to meet Ford on the red carpet.
Disney cast member Kevin Brassard originated the title role in the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular at Walt Disney World more than 30 years ago. And one of his greatest adventures just happened following a surprise invite to the premiere of “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.”
On the red carpet – Indy met Indy! Kevin got the chance to spend time with “the inspiration” for his entire career – Harrison Ford. The actor greeted Kevin and his guest, fellow Disney stunt performer Michele Waitman, listening closely to their special connection with Indiana Jones.
“When I said to him, ‘I’m the man that’s been lucky enough to portray Indiana Jones that you created for the past 34 years,’ he thanked me,” Kevin said in awe.
